Iolo to miss out on Autumnwatch!

Local TV front man Iolo Williams has revealed that he won’t be presenting live on BBC’s Autumnwatch this year, and we have the FA Cup to blame! 

Iolo has become a mainstay on the channel’s flagship nature programme, which broadcasts live from several locations across the UK.

But this morning Iolo confirmed the sad news, but said it certainly won’t be the end of his long association with the programme.

“Unfortunately, I won’t be live on Autumnwatch this year,” he Tweeted. “The dates had to be changed to accommodate live coverage of the FA Cup and the new dates clashed with a week’s guiding on Mull. I’ll miss the team, but I’ll be back for Winterwatch. Good luck team!”

Iolo has made a name for himself on TV following a distinguished career as an officer with the RSPB, and has gone on to present a number of nature programmes in both English and Welsh. He is also a popular celebrity guide for wildlife trips all over the world.
