I don't know if this has been covered elsewhere on the forum, but has Carrie Gracie left the BBC? Haven't seen her for months.

Simon McCoy tweeted some months back that she was ill and she'll be back in the New Year. No more news apart from that I think.

According to the twitter feed of partner-in-crime @simonmccoy , Carrie has been ill the past few months and should return after the first of the year.
