Springwatch star horrified as she’s ‘unceremoniously dumped off Twitter’ for posting clip from show
A SPRINGWATCH star has been left horrified after she was ‘unceremoniously dumped off Twitter’ after posting a clip from the show.
The popular BBC programme charts the changing of seasons and its impact on wildlife during the year.
It’s presented by Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan and Megan McCubbin.
But Michaela, 56, was left horrified when she was apparently penalised for posting a clip from the programme.
Taking to her account, she shared a short video of singer David Gray appearing on the show.
He was discussing his love for curlew birds.
However it landed her in Twitter jail, forcing her co-presenter Chris Packham to get involved.
Posting on the social media platform, he tweeted: “Hello @elonmusk just to say my wonderful colleague @michaelastracha has been unceremoniously dumped off @Twitter for posting a clip of @DavidGray on @BBCSpringwatch. Would you mind.”
Chris, 61, also shared a snap of Michaela looking upset and she clenched her phone with the Twitter app open.
It appears his direct appeal to Elon Musk worked as her account is back on the platform along with her video from the show.
Meanwhile, BBC presenter Chris Packham has cancelled all TV work after suffering from “burn out”.
It will be the first time in nearly four decades that Chris will not be on our screens, but he admitted it was the right decision after feeling like he was “constantly running on a treadmill”.
“I’m not going to buy a Ferrari and run off with a 20-year-old,’ he told,” The Mirror.
“I’ve never taken three months off work. Never.
“I can barely sleep I am so excited. I might have to ban [partner] Charlotte from the studios.”
