CBBC Star Says He Was Suddenly Fired

CBBC star Michael Underwood made a surprising claim.

Michael Underwood, a CBBC legend, said something shocking about leaving the channel. He presented on the kids' TV platform from 1999 to 2002 before moving to ITV.

People thought Michael chose to leave CBBC for ITV. But he says he was fired, which surprised him. He talked about this on TikTok, saying he didn't want to discuss it before.

Michael Underwood was a CBBC presenter with his wife Angellica Bell.

Michael avoided talking about his CBBC exit.

Michael, now a teacher, said he loved working at CBBC and didn't want to leave. He had friends and fun at work.

There were two bosses at CBBC, one for presenters and one for the channel.

The presenter boss changed and asked Michael to meet, and he thought it was about his contract.

But Michael was told to leave instead.

Michael said his boss told him it was time to move on after three years at CBBC.

Michael was shocked and didn't expect this news. He felt blank and spaced out.

Michael told his wife Angellica, who had her own work issues after being fired from a show.

ITV offered Michael twice the money and new shows, but he wanted to stay at CBBC.

The BBC boss who fired Michael called him back with a new contract offer, but Michael chose ITV.

The Mirror asked the BBC for a comment.
