BBC Morning Live presenter Rav Wilding, 46, announced that he’d secretly separated from TV producer Jill Morgan last year.
After more than a decade together, he later found love with fraud detective Rebecca Mason.
The duo first met in 2020 when his wife was pregnant and Rebecca was starting to do more TV work as a talking head.
She appeared as a fraud specialist on a string of shows, including This Morning and Hunted.
An IMDb listing confirmed Rebecca appeared as herself in an episode of Ill Gotten Gains from four years ago with Rav.
Rebecca has now announced that she’s decided to leave the police behind as her burgeoning TV career takes off.
The TV personality took to her Instagram grid page with an album of snaps of her time in the police force.
Alongside the pictures, she wrote: “After 14 years as a Police Officer and 10 of those serving as a Detective, I’ve made the tough decision to step away from the badge and let my career take a new direction.
“Being a police officer has been one of the most rewarding and meaningful experiences of my life—full of challenges, triumphs, and unforgettable memories.
“But life is too short not to follow your gut and your heart, and right now, I know it’s time for a change and a much-needed break.
“To my incredible colleagues and everyone who supported me—thank you for everything.”
She added: “Here’s to new beginnings and following the path that feels right.
“Who knows…maybe one day DC Mason will be back.”
When the pair first got together, a source told The Sun: “Her name’s Rebecca Mason, she’s a Surrey Police detective who specialises in online romance fraud and scams but she’s been building a TV career on the side by going on shows like Hunted and W’s Red Flags, where she’s a talking head.
“They actually first worked together years ago when he was presenting Ill Gotten Gains and they’ve got the same agent too.
Who hosts BBC Morning Live?
Morning Live has been a staple of BBC One’s daytime schedule offering for the last four years and airs directly after BBC Breakfast each weekday at 9.30am. But who presents the show?
“The whole team at Morning Live know they’re together, especially since Rav and Rebecca went to Michelle Ackerley‘s hen do a month or so ago.
“All of their colleagues are happy for them. The producers and other experts have commented on a few of their Instagram posts saying how they make a great couple.”
