When did Julia actually change her name into "George"? Wasn't she still called Julia Botfield on last weekend's Breakfast?

Just to confirm that she now calls herself Julia George and not George Botfield!

Please, someone put Breakfast out of it's mysery.


I agree that Breakfast is a sorry mess of a programme, and is an embarrassment to the BBC.

If they just put on 3 hours on non-corny, headline led news updates, rolling every 15 minutes, the BBC would regain some major credibility, and offer a service that isn't currently being catered for.

Sky News Sunrise is also a pityful hole.

What's wrong with doing news at breakfast time on TV?

She was.


According to the Breakfast website, she got married earlier this month.

And so the plot thickens regards the change from Jules to Julia - perhaps a pre-emptive move on the grounds that "Julia George" is less of a mouthful than "Jules George"

Perhaps she's just postponed it until her presenting spell is over (after all she's been waiting 2½ years to present the programme again)!

Wonder why Kaplinksy & Raworth never changed to their married names then?

Does it depend on their 'profile', or personal preference?

I guess it's personal preference. Some prefer not to use their married names publically so to give themselves privacy when not in public.

Looks like todays' Breakfast isn't coming from the normal News 24 studio. I wonder if they're doing maintenance in the studio.

It appears they're using the national news studio, as it appears to be a greyish floor.

I like that!! Looks so much better than news 24 normally.
