I like her, wonder who will take her job?, isn't she also the weather boss?, she took over from Michael Fish a few years ago just before she had her first baby?

Wish her the best of luck, doing the same as another of my favourites Suzanne Charlton who left to spend more time with her family.


Imagine the paroxysms of orgasmic joy and excitement that will sweep the information superhighway if Dan Corbett gets the job? This whole forum will go into meltdown.

As excellent as that would be, I think the chances are exceptionally small! If he was to get the job, there'd be uproar amongst colleagues, many of whom have been at the Weather Centre for far longer than he has!

On the other hand, it could be better for Dan to stay a plain old presenter - if he became lead presenter we probably wouldn't see as much of him as we do now, which would be a shame.

My money's still on Peter Gibbs or Alex Deakin.

Darren Bett for me - he's already a senior presenter

I'd have thought Rob McElwee and Philip Avery would be the senior presenters.

I think it's more down to what they do behind the scenes as well as on air, rather than just who's been there the longest.
