Kaplinsky Signs New BBC Deal

Is it just me, or does the first line of that article suggest that the executives weren't just impressed by her hosting skills? Wink

Oh, and calm down, Winifred, I'm not slating precious Tash, don't worry.

Oh, and note to whoever wrote that article.

BREAKFAST, not BREAKFAST NEWS. Hell, even the BBC call it Breakfast News sometimes. Shame it would be completely false if they did. Laughing

Well, I'm sure you all know what I think about this so I'm not gonna bother telling you all because I know most of you dislike her.

That'll explain why the BBC needs to make cut backs then. It needs to pay someone an exstortionate amount to sit on a sofa for 4 days a week.

Breakfast is moving to News 24 in a years time. This is mainly due to the job-cuts which shall take place with the programmes moving. Will be interesting to see what happens to the presenting line-up when the cuts start to take hold. Confused

Apparantly , ITV tried to snap her up to present her own daytime show, but she turned it down. It looks like she's hot property at the moment.

Umm she certainly is hot property at the mo.....Not so sure why though, although thats a taste thing for me. ITV seem to have had there hands in the BBC draws of late....

Yes, they reportedly wanted her as a replacement for Trisha, which says it all really.

BTW, I'm sure the announcement that she's getting £500,000 will be a nice kick in the teeth for the 2,000 people who are losing their jobs. Nice timing. Rolling Eyes

I would say more like the other way round....Take Geoff Clark as a good example.

Well she turned it down, so that ''says it all really''. Apparantly, she was going to replace Trisha's slot, not the actual programme. They wanted her to present a Richard and Judy style chat show, but she said she wanted to stick with Breakfast. Appprantly ITV were gonna pay her mega bugs.

It all rather badly timed. BBC News told to make cost cuttings, then one of their *star* anchors signs a big money deal.

Oh dear - another 2 years of her stutering the breakfast news.
