Hadn't Francis Collings been on since News 24 launched? According to Wikipedia when Celina left last month they gave her a cake in the studio, and her, Jon Sopel and Sophie Long ate it on air. That passed me by!


It was featured on Newswatch, with people saying that it was inappropriate to dedicate time to this sort of thing!

She's been springing up more often on the business recently - before then it was a very rare thing.

New sports presenter Andrew Lindsay will be on the Channel from after 2 today.

Looks like Jon Kay will continue to provide relief on BBC Breakfast in Salford. He tweeted that today is the last time he'll be presenting Breakfast from London.

Reading Mike Bushell's tweets it looks like he's the new weekday sports presenter, and Sally will be weekend presenter.

But someone tweeted Sally:

Quote:
Congrats to @sallynugent who is Breakfast's new sports presenter replacing Chris Hollins.


And she replied 'Thankyou!!'. Who is to know?!

...but should arguably be a relief main preseter on the News channel. She was an excellent presenter on Sky News and would be a welcome addition!

I agree, Worzel. Juliette occasionally presents the news on BBC World, as well as the business. She is truly excellent. Has wonderful diction and generally has a very good presence on screen.

I would really like to see much more of her anchoring on BBC World, but not the News Channel, for obvious selfish reasons. LOL.
