Amol Rajan vows to change way he pronounces the letter H

University Challenge host Amol Rajan has vowed to change the way he pronounces the letter H following a barrage of complaints.

Fellow BBC broadcasters who say 'haitch' include Sara Cox, from Bolton, and Nick Grimshaw, from Oldham. Rajan said he would start using 'aitch' from the next series of University Challenge despite the Oxford English Dictionary declaring 'haitch' is a commonly used variant. In the past, campaigners have called on the BBC to only hire presenters who can use language correctly. It came after complaints were made about Cox and Grimshaw mispronouncing 'H'.

Rajan did not reveal why he has chosen to change the way he says H but he has been criticised on social media and in newspapers.
