The 26-year-old says she may give up on a television career and move back to radio, reports the Daily Mail.

She said she applied for the BBC's Graduate Training Scheme on more than one occasion, but had been unsuccessful.

Her 36D breasts have attracted much attention during her time on the show and there are over 100 websites dedicated to her.

She said: "Because of my cleavage, I don't think I would ever be employed by someone like the BBC to be a high-brow newsreader. Much as I would like to, I don' t see myself sitting alongside Fiona Bruce or Sophie Raworth."

Ms Suleman, who worked for London's Capital Radio before joining RI:SE, added: "I know my cleavage has become something of a talking point on RI:SE but I don't mind. It's quite amusing."

She says after RI:SE she has taken up the offer of a role in a film and is providing the narration for a documentary on the actress Jane Birkin.
