The London Today presenter you're thinking of is probably Carrie Frais, but I doubt she was on N24!

And I think you mean Celina Hinchcliffe, not Selina Scott Laughing


Yes, I corrected that post quickly, hoping no one had seen it yet!! I'm sure it was a London Today presenter, but I wouldn't know her name.


Sounds to me like your talking about Nina Hussien (sp?) She is an LDN presenter.


Nina Hussein is not a sports presenter tho.

No, it definitely wasn't her. Oh well, I'm sure we'll find out eventually.

Does anyone know the name of the presenter of the London Today updates during GMTV this morning?

Carrie Frais was doing the sport this afternoon - whether it is the same Carrie Frais I have no idea, but it was someone with that name...!

Must be the same Carrie Frais - she used to do the sport on Sky News/Sky Sports News.

But she's been getting around a bit recently - she was reading the news on LBC at the weekend, presenting London Tonight on Monday evening and doing sport on News 24 on Tuesday!

lol! I'm confusing myself now - can you think of any other London Today female presenters? Not Lucy Alexander or Anna Marie-Ash, it was one of the less well-known ones.

I wasn't up that early, but it could be Emma Walden.

In a way, I feel quite sorry for Carrie Frais. She was starting to make inroads at Sky Sports, presenting the Spanish and women's football.

Then she joined the ITV Sport Channel. Anyway, I thought she was full-time at LNN sharing her time with weekend LBC.

Yes, she's the one. I've only ever seen her on London Today/Tonight before - it must have been on London Tonight at 10.30 last night that I saw her (unless someone would like to correct me on that one too!).

I was just surprised because I expected to see LT presenters on the ITV News Channel, not News 24. Is she new at News 24 then, or do you think this was a one-off?

Evening Standard last August posted:
Carrie Frais, 33, lives in Belsize Park and is in the process of buying a studio flat in Barcelona, where she studied as a language student 10 years ago. "It's to do with quality of life, variety and fun," she says. "Barcelona is so colourful, lively and accessible. If you plan your life well, you can book cheap flights in advance for about the same cost as a commuter season ticket in the UK.

"I have a small mortgage on my London flat, so I don't need to work around the clock. Anyway, I'm confident I will be able to pick up some work."

Barcelona has become a favourite short-break destination and one of Carrie's ideas is to organise weekend "jollies": cookery tours, personal shopping excursions and so on.

What exactly does this entail, though? Will she have her own designated slots on the channel, or just be called in whenever they need her?
