Mum-of-one Sophy, 38, announced she was stepping down from the politics programme, Sophy Ridge on Sunday, after six years. She will be replaced by veteran news anchor and former politician, Sir Trevor Phillips, 69. Speaking about stepping into Sophy's shoes, he said: 'It's a great privilege to follow Sophy and to be taking this seat at such at an exciting time for politics. 'With major elections in sight, both at home and abroad, I look forward to working alongside the brilliant Sky team as we report on the key issues and interrogate the people who have to make the big decisions." As the country awaits a general election in one of the most politically unstable periods for years, Sir Trevor will have a lot to discuss when the programme resumes in September after the summer break. Speaking about his appointment, Sky News executive chairman David Rhodes said: "We're delighted Trevor Phillips will be leading the political conversation each Sunday morning. "Trevor's experience, intellect, and professionalism are just what's required in the critical cycle ahead. "With Beth Rigby, Sam Coates, Sophy Ridge, and our whole Political Hub team, audiences will find the most engaging coverage of politics anywhere." Announcing the news she was leaving the show, amid news Sky is reshuffling its schedule, Sophy took to Twitter, writing: "I can't quite believe it but this week is the final ever Sophy Ridge on Sunday. "The last six years have been an absolute privilege. "Thank you to everyone who has watched and made it part of your Sunday routine. It's something I have never taken for granted." The changes made as part of Sky's reshuffle include Ian King Live going from a one hour show to two half hour shows, and renaming them Business Live. Meanwhi){kind=link}
