Ita Buttrose is leaving Studio 10 after three-and-a-half years on the panel, it has been claimed.
TV tonight alleges the veteran media figure will announce her departure on Wednesday, in what was a ‘mutual decision’ for Ita and Channel 10.
The former Cleo editor’s departure comes less than a month after Jessica Rowe left Studio 10 and amid controversy over the ‘Brussels sprouts’ incident with Denise Drysdale.

The website claims Ita will be replaced by comedian Denise Scott, who will appear every second week alternating with Drysdale.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Channel 10 for comment.
