Jeremy Paxman has refused to have a Christmas tree with him on set.



BBC Breakfast hosts Bill Turnbull and Sian Williams revealed yesterday morning that Paxman demands any festive decorations be removed before he presents Newsnight.

Turnbull, 55, is quoted as saying: "As soon as we're off air it's whipped out of the way," while Williams commented: "Jeremy doesn't want a tree in the studio. Bah humbug!"

Meanwhile, a source told The Sun: "Jeremy doesn't want his Newsnight set turned into Santa's grotto. We think it's hilarious, as do the Breakfast crew. But that's Jeremy all over."
