BBC News presenter Martine Croxall is understood to have been taken off air following a potential breach of impartiality during Sunday night's edition of The Papers.
During her introduction to the programme, which started at 10.30pm on Sunday around 90 minutes after Boris Johnson pulled out of the Tory leadership race, Croxall said: "Well this is all very exciting isn't it?"
"Am I allowed to be this gleeful? Well I am," she told viewers.
