Out of interest if a presenter suddenly falls ill who covers? I know the person on the newsdesk has covered before but with it always being a woman and say Dermot fell ill would Moira (on the newsdesk) present with Natasha or would Rob Bonnet (sport) cover? Alternatively would the N24 presenters cover or would the presenter just go solo?

Generally it's the sports presenter, e.g. Sue Thearle and Sian, or Rob Bonnet and Sian (although that was scheduled).

Good to see Louisa Preston on Breakfast, she was my favourite of the ancien regime on five news.

Quite possibly. Annoying isnt it?

To answer your question, Max Foster was the last to be in the chair, going all the way back to January, before he left for CNN.

Asad Ahmed is the only person to have held the job permanantly, but he left when Emma Howard was appointed.


Oh well, at least there are plenty of male weather forecasters on Breakfast to correct the balance. Confused

Has she been exercising her pout while she's been on honeymoon?

How long before she's 'up the duff' ?

2 months ?

Will both Natasha and Dermot be presenting the six o clock news? Has dermot finished his stint at that position?

Well, on her last Breakfast before her wedding she said 'I thought brides were supposed to loose weight but my dress has had to be let out.' Letting the cat out of the bag or a false start? I suppose we'll find out soon enough.

Sophie is due middle of December, so would imagine she goes on maternity leave 2nd or 3rd week of November depending on how she feels.
Hope Sophie is only having 6 months off, can't put up with Kerplunk for any longer..

I'm always intrigued as to why this woman seems to incite such negative reactions in people. Personally, I could take her or leave her. She's a competent if uninspiring newsreader - moderately attractive, but nothing special. Yet some people truly loathe her. I've always wondered why.
