Newsreader Gargy Patel

Just spotted her doing a mock news report in the Catherine Tate show, I don't tink she has been seen for years on screen.

Here is an old image of her from TV and Radio Bits

Now however, unlike the image above, she has shoulder length hair and less make up, other than that no change!

and an old screengrab from 1997 you have there. Boy did we need South East Today back then. The presenters on Newsroom South East were always so blooming miserable.

Yes I know, I can see where I put my description of her now makes me look silly.

I'll edit it.

I didn't realise she'd been down in the South East. I remember her from Central News South, and couldn't quite believe it was her on Catherine Tate last night.

I've heard her doing a few reports on GMTV news, never on screen, always voiceover only.

Though there was an era - around 1995-1996 - when you seldom saw the Newsroom South East presenter at 0627 on a Monday - the South Today presenters often got much wider exposure ISTR.

(Historically, it wasn't unusual for the Newsroom South East presenter to arrive too late to present the first regional opt of the week, leaving the Breakfast News gallery having to take Southampton as the sustaining feed)
