I think Maitlis is really quite creepy looking. If you want an ugly newsreader, flick over to Channel Four News with Krishnan... gee, now that's one train crash of a human being.

If it was purely about looks Karin G would be on the 6 o'clock news instead of Kerplunk.

Personally I think she is good enough anyway, her voice is a joy to listen to. Instead she's wasted on cover and night shifts on news 24.
