ITV News

Is Daybelge English?

does she sound it?

To me, no she doesnt.

I presume Leyla is on for a week or two, as she's back with Nick this afternoon.

Who normally presents the Lunchtime News?

Nicholas Owen and Katie Derham, but Katie is on materniy leave so Nina Hossain has co-anchored recently.

So what have they done with Hossain now? Presumably she has gone on holiday?

It was interesting to watch the 10:30 news last night. For those who don't know it was Steve Scott presenting last night.
His style of presentation when on the ITV1 bulletins is alot different to that when presenting on the news channel.
I think he would be good on the Evening News standing in for Mark Austin

He does already doesn't he?

No, she's from Omagh, County Tyrone in Northern Ireland.

It would look so much better if they got a couple of extra benches for guests in the virtual studio, rather than the scruffy collection of chairs that they use at the moment.

Still, it's better than endless guests on the newsroom camera.

got tot see how the itv news works in the newsroom to the studio today on the paul o grady show. has anyone captured it or can show us. they said it was the itv news studio but to me it looked like the 100% computer graphics studio
