Would it be fair to assume that there are two very determined women intent on getting their own way in Leeds, one presenter & one manager? If this is the case - and I say if.., I have come across both and I wouldn't put bets either way on who will be successful.

Maybe they're of the opinion that it's not your business? Maybe it's something personal or private?


Well theres only one way to stop the speculation.

Make a comment BBC or Christa Ackroyd!

Christa paid £30k despite being off screen for 10 weeks, according to an insider quoted by the Yorkshire Evening Post at least.

With Amanda Harper going on maternity soon and Christa still awol, they are going to be quite short of on air talent at this rate.


Maybe they'll bring back Judith Stamper? Very Happy

Or Clare Frisby. Clare is doing the Chelsea Flower Show for Look North, which will be the highest profile gig she's had for a while.

I remember watching her a lot during the regional segments on Breakfast a couple of years ago on Sky, and I remember her being rather good.

That's a possibility. I thought the way she was heaved out of the way was disgraceful myself.

So do we take it that Christa has left the building.....?

I would bet my house on it if I'm being honest.

Wasn't she the main presenter before the BBC poached the 'python' from YTV and moved her to Breakfast?

Did she actually broadcast from Hull or was it from a store room in Leeds?

And obviously when Hull became 'The Levy Show' she was carted off to Breakfast (via maternity!).

Was a shame that Helen Morton couldn't stay, even Helen Philpot was a better choice than the person currently in the chair*. Strong words there.

*Strangely, Ms Philpot is now working for News International.

She's changed her Twitter bio to this

@christaackroyd
Proud to be a Yorkshire journalist for three decades more than twenty of them on tv. Also local and national newspapers and radio. Love my city of Bradford.


Looks like we've seen the last of her. She disappeared from Calendar in 2001 with no explanation and now she's done the same at Look North. Maybe she's going back to Calendar! Very Happy
