Kate Humble shares real reason she left Springwatch in heartbreaking five-word admission (Image: BBC) Kate Humble has emotionally revealed that quitting Springwatch in 2011 felt “a bit like leaving home”. Speaking in an exclusive interview with Reach plc, the Animal Park host said the job “stopped scaring me”, so she felt the need to move on to a new challenge. The presenter fronted the BBC show with Bill Oddie ever since its first episode in 2005, before he left the show in 2009 and was replaced by Chris Packham .

Admitting the decision to bid farewell to the programme was a “hard” one to make, Kate said: “It was a bit like leaving home, I loved Springwatch.” Reflecting on her time on the show, she added: “I was enormously proud of it and it was enormously challenging in all the best sort of ways. “I mean, terrifying, you know, you're working with animals on live telly, you can't get them to turn up at eight o'clock and do something spectacular.
