Initially she joined as one of its roving reporters, but in 2018 she became a full time presenters alongside co-host Spencer Kelly.
In a post on socials she was seen hugging Spencer at the CES show in Las Vegas, where the tech world comes together to discuss breakthroughs and show off the latest trends.
Spencer posted the picture saying: “Our last photo taken together at our last #CES for Click. It’s been an absolute blast to film there for so many years with one of my best friends @laralewington. Got a bit emotional tbh.”
Lara replied: “As did I… we’ve been so lucky to have such adventures, doing what we love, with such genuine friendship. Still a couple of months of Clicking to go, but this was a moment!”
The former Five News presenter, Lara, began her broadcast career as a weather and showbiz reporter before specialising in technology.
It was reported recently that the BBC show would be coming to end after 24 years in it’s current format.
The BBC described the show as: “the best debate on global technology, social media and the internet or your guide to all the latest gadgets, websites, games and computer industry news.”
It’s thought that the flagship gadget series will be given a digital makeover with a new name and a new format.
Although dates haven’t been announced, the BBC has confirmed that when it returns Click will be rebranded as Tech Now.
Fans of the show took to socials and forums to pay their respects to the long running series and question why it was being taken off air.
One viewer said: “Click was one of the only shows on the BBC that I still enjoyed checking out. Was fair, unbiased and informative. Reminded me of the older BBC shows I watched as a kid.”
Another suggested a way it could live on its current format: “Click belonged on The One Show, travesty that such a good show was resigned to bad scheduling.”
Although Lara will be moving on from Click, fans will still be able to get their tech fix from her as she recently joined Lorraine as their resident AI agony aunt.
