The 55-year-old has anchored the regional Beeb station's news bulletins for nearly three decades.

And before their brand new studio was unveiled on television Susie gave viewers an exclusive first look.

The journalist walked around the set showcasing its huge LED screens and brand new red sofa.

However, fans at home flooded her with complaints as one Beeb viewer raged: "Who cares about a new set?"

A second asked a personal question: "Excellent to know money isn't a problem when it comes to TV membership license money, but do you earn the same as the men?"

"I honestly hate it ! All I want is creative people giving me the news and weather and information! I'm sick of all this technology stuff! Bring back painting what people did and real life pictures," fumed a third.

While a fourth fan commented: "Stuff the whizzy set, Susie. Viewers wanted the local East (East) and East (West) editions."

Meanwhile, a BBC boss has hit back after a string of mortifying blunders on the channel as viewers blamed staff cuts.

Over the past year presenters and crew behind-the-scenes have been left embarrassed over a number of gaffes.

A special show on the epic blunders and complaints from viewers was aired on Newswatch and now the head of the BBC News channel Paul Royall has weighed in.
