A number of Sunday Express staff have either left the paper in recent months or moved to new roles within publisher Reach and not been replaced amid group-wide redundancies.

Press Gazette understands the Sunday newspaper’s editorial team has halved, from just over 20 to fewer than ten, following cuts under Reach, which bought the title last year as part of a £128m deal.

The publisher also owns the Daily Express, Daily Star and Daily Star Sunday, Daily Mirror, Sunday Mirror and Sunday People.
