Michaela Strachan has opened up about Autumnwatch being cancelled. The BBC confirmed it was axing the much-loved programme after 17 years back in February.
Now ahead of the return of Springwatch, which kicks off on Monday, May 29, Michaela has discussed the broadcaster's decision. Appearing on ITV's Loose Women on Friday, May 25, Jane Moore asked Michaela: "Springwatch is still going strong, why did they axe Autumn Watch?"
The presenter responded: "I think it's all to do with budget, unfortunately, and if you think what the BBC has put on this year, there's been a lot of expense. I think you have to be realistic, you know, fewer people are buying the license so there's more choice on what to watch and budgets have got smaller."
