Just how old is Dawn Thewlis these days?

She's been around on Tyne Tees for at least 23 years that I know of. She still looks fairly young -- can't be older than 40-45 -- so she must have joined the station at a really young age (late teens??), either that or she's a lot older than she looks!!

She mentioned on NET last week that she has been at Tyne Tees for 16 years, i reckon she is no older than 40 but she does scrub up well.

I've got a photo of her somewhere from 1990. She looks older then, than she does now.

Dawn in 1990, and in the late 1990s.

Really? That can't be right.

I'm sure I remember seeing her from the mid-80s onwards (23 was a typo, not sure how that happened as I meant 20).

Well, if Dawn herself said it I must be mistaken Confused

Kathy Secker featuring on a report on NET for a charity event that she is promoting for a Wearside hospice.

No reference was made to Kathy's former life at Tyne Tees and considering that she spent donkey's years at City Road, you would have at least thought that they could get the spelling of her name on the aston right. Kathy not Cathy !
