Nina Hossain is ghastly, irritating and wooden. Not at ALL suited to ITN Network and International broadcasts. I cringed thoroughly through the bulletin that I watched the other night, which she co-presented with either Neely or Austin. Cant remember. But, her walk back to the newsdesk after the headlines was totally cringeworthy and emphasised even mre that the format that ITN uses on its bulletins is crap. Sorry to be so crude and curt, But fact.


Not so much fact, as opinion. And "international broadcasts"???

OT, a bit, but on the topic of Nina, they had a mokc up of HardSpell on Dick & Dom this morning and they hada giant cardboard head of Nina, and at the end, it started to eat "Eammon Holmes"

BATFA MATERIAL!!

Laughing Even though it's childish. I have to admit i do not like her one bit.

1) Her voice sounds dreadful, it sounds as if she'd rather be somewhere else rather than reading the news! - whinging through it gives me a headache

2) her head is rather big compared to her body.

3) she's far too short standing next to mark austin, mind you anybody is!

I think that's because of the height difference! When they stood side by side it looked silly and also they used a different camera angle

Yeah I have noticed that, it is either a BO problem or height difference, but it did seem like Mark was standing quite a long way away from Nina. It almost seems like he doesn't like stand-ins, he always seems to be standing away from Andrea too. But when Mary was on, it seemed liked he was standing right next to her and she isn't tall by any standards!

I have always thought Nina is one of the better news presenters on TV. I quite like her voice and she is absolutely gorgeous. Haven't seen too much of her on ITV but on BBC she was a gem.

Just can't warm to her at all. Each to their own, though.

I personally cannot stand her. She has a constant facial expression which looks as though she has an uncomfortable object stuck in one of her orifices.

Yes and I agree with the poster who said she has an irritating voice. Even more irritating than the voice on the platforms at Cardiff train station.

Did you enjoy the chemistry tonight:

Mark: Why is it that all my lot want iPods for Christmas?
Nina: On tonight's News at 10.30....

She completely ignored him!

He even addressed her by her first name! It went something like this:

Mark: "Nina, why is it my lot all want iPods?!?"
Nina: (Fake laugh) "Next on the ITV News Channel"

I think they always put the News Channel bit before the Later at 10:30...

Still... Confused
