Yes I have noticed how Duncan and Christine hardly ever present together these days. I am not too sure if Christine is now actually part time following her cancer battle? I am not complaining I much prefer YTV stalwart Gaynor. I thought in recent years has always been overlooked.

When Kate Walby was around she didn't appear on the main programme much, but since Kate left, Gaynor is obviously back as second presenter.

When Duncan is off, his replacement will never do a full week, the role will be shared across the week, John Shires tonight.

since they've been in the new set, the male presenters have only been Duncan, John if he's away and David Hirst if they're desperate, rare to see Jon Hill though, Frazer Maude was presenting as cover a bit back towards the end of the old set era

They must be short in the Look North weather office tonight, you don't usually get Clare Nasir doing the weather on Look North on a weeknight.

Kay has now departed to EMT. Keeley is on secondment to a Countryfile spin off. Paul only seems to be part time these days or maybe Inside Out related.

I didn't know that, she was on this morning, I didn't know it was her last.

I wonder if this means we will get to keep Owain when Lisa comes back. I believe he's been popular with viewers.

Yep Kay has gone to EMT. Up here on Look North (Newcastle) Colin Briggs introduced the weather with Kay (recorded) and pointed it out. I follow her on Twitter and looks like she's been quite emotional throughout. She admits she was in tears when she did her last BBC Radio York weather forecast today.

Nice to see Good Morning Britain utilising Duncan, whose currently Kos reporting on Ben Needham, this morning. Just a shame about how video-link was very dodgy and how they had to cut to his report early instead.

Kay is being replaced by somebody called Abbie who is currently training with Owain, according to Look North's comments on this video she got roped into

She did come back last Monday and was on all week, excluding Friday, but then she only appeared on Tuesday this week with Gaynor on all the other days.
