A Sky Sports News presenter had admitted she’ll never work in football again after making a surprising career U-turn.
Bianca Westwood worked for the broadcaster, where she was a regular as an anchor, for 22 years before taking redundancy in 2023. And these days, Westwood, 51, can be found on TikTok, where she makes more female-led videos.
“I wanted to set a few things straight because I still get a lot of messages asking about Sky. When am I going back to Sky? When am I doing the football again,” Bianca told her 47,000 followers on social media last week.

“The compliments are really nice, I do appreciate them, but I’m not going back to Sky. It’s funny because I get so many compliments now about what a good reporter I was, which is lovely, how I was the best football presenter, blah, blah, blah…
“And yet when I was doing it, especially when I first started, everyone said I was s***. So, work that out. The thing is, I’m not going back to Sky and I’m probably never going to work in football again.
“I had a feeling, probably about a year before I left Sky that the opportunities were becoming few and far between, they didn’t really rate me, that’s why I started doing the fashion, beauty and skincare, things that I love as a woman.

“All my content now is geared towards women so I don’t even know why I get new male followers because the football has gone. I love what I do now so I just wanted to let you know what that’s all about.
“Three years ago, Sky offered me redundancy, I decided to take it.
“Jeff (Stelling) was leaving at the same time, I thought it was probably the best time to go and that was basically the reasons behind my decision so I’m not really going to go back!”
