“Angela’s sure footed editorial judgement, creative eye and commitment has played a key role in the success of ITV Studios. We’ll all miss her hugely, but really look forward to working with her at Disney.

“Tim’s success during his tenure at MultiStory and TwoFour speaks for itself.  His wealth of experience and knowledge in the unscripted market made him the natural successor to Angela. I’ve no doubt that ITV Studios’ UK unscripted business will go from strength to strength under his leadership”

Tim Carter added: “ What an honour! The ITV Studios’ non-scripted slate reads like a roll-call of the nation’s favourite shows and the breadth and depth of creative and production talent across the group is staggering. I look forward to building on our reputation as the natural home for the brightest and the best as we forge the entertainment of the future.”
