I think somebody posted on this thread a few weeks back that she had mentioned leaving the NC for six months.

Any idea when Mary Nightingale returns?

I'd have thought she'd be back by now and Nina Hossain moved to the Lunchtime News as Katie's maternity cover!


Nina has kind of moved to the LN...she is now fronting both bulletins...

Nobody on here seems to know when Mary will return; it seems weird to me that she turned up on May 5 to present bulletins through to the small hours on election night, yet over 3 months on and she hasn't been near Gray's Inn Road since. 9 months and counting!


Lets hope they are letting Mary go...

I doubt they'd do that considering they only have 3 other main female presenters, 2 of which have gone on materity to the end of the year.

Speaking of which, any news on Andrea Catherwood? She should be giving birth any minute!

Sounds preety major to me...a revamp, or a whole host of new faces/changes on the NC, perhaps?

Has there been any official announcement of whether Angela Rippon has left ITV News as this weekend's morning show is titled 'Live with Jon Nicolson?'

Not too sure. Perhaps because he covers 'Live with...' shows often they decided to rename the shows which he covers.


He covered for Alastair today, yet the show was named 'Live with Alastair Stewart'

I haven't seen it for a whle, but presumably he has done it all this week which begs the question as to why he slot hasn't been personalised.

Ive said it before and i will say it again , I do not like Marys style of presenting its normal and drab I find Ninas much better , Or Felictiy Barr would be a good choice for the EN maybe ?

It's been called 'Live with Jon Nicolson' all week, and previewed as that all week. Except on the Sky EPG.
Also, I hope Katie Ledger becomes a permanent face on the nc. She is really good with Andrew Harvey
