Presenter Charlotte Smith will return to front Countryfile years after she was sacked when bosses reportedly said that she "wasn't young or pretty enough".
The 49-year-old will be back on screens from September, The Guardian reports.
Smith was one of four female presenters in their 40s and 50s who were dropped by the rural current affairs show five years ago as part of a revamp.
Her fellow presenter Miriam O'Reilly took the BBC to an employment tribunal and won after she was removed from the line-up.
Michaela Strachan and Juliet Morris were also cut in the 2009 revamp.
Smith is the first in the group to take up presenting duties again alongside Matt Baker in a new Sunday evening slot.
