Broadcast reports that his responsibilities will now be split – deputy chief creative officer and head of factual Ralph Lee will take on his creative diversity brief, while the channel may look to appoint a head of nations and regions.

A C4 spokesman said: “Stuart has decided to leave Channel 4 to focus on other writing and broadcasting projects.

“He will continue to work with Channel 4 as indie advocate, and on other projects, on a freelance basis throughout 2015. Stuart’s creative diversity team will now report to deputy chief creative officer Ralph Lee.”
