Tasmin is not a bad news reader. From September to now, there has been a big improvement. She just needs to smile a lot more and stop making mistakes and maybe wear some glasses (win my vote).

alright
, and I didn't mind her
TOO
much when she did E24 on the BBC News Channel and 60 Seconds on BBC Three, but she is a bit ITV these days
Tamzin is fantastic btw, only jealous people wouldn't like her. So sexy people can't read the news?
Tamzin might be great, whoever she is. However Tasmin, the newsreader on Daybreak, is distinctly average...
Why because she used to model? That's the only reason isn't it?
She has an annoying voice and a poor delivery, is a poor interviewer, struggles off-script (and, additionally, off autocue) and has little onscreen charisma. There are far more beautiful and visually appealing newsreaders on television who I have no problem with - her looks have nothing to do with it. She's under qualified, under experienced and generally the wrong person for the job.
Or would you like to assume I'm being jealous and not rationally take on my argument?
Daybreak did not want a credible journalist, they need a 'face' to present their news, and to be honest - many people I guess recognise Tasmin as the news anchor. Whether she is good at presenting the news or not, is not Daybreak was concerned about.
She's the Sharuna Sagar of network though, where mistakes breed.
Does Sharuna Sagar make mistakes? I didn't know who she was until a googled her (and he sari).
Definitely a day of complete presenter changes that you have listed today.
I thought Lucy on the news was better delivering the news than Tasmin, but she completely lacked any form of chemistry, or indeed happiness, with Katy & Dan! Meanwhile, Katy just didn't want to present much; it was completely about her: wanting to go to the sales etc. It just showed me today how news-lite this show is. I thought it was bad enough with Adrian & Christine, but it just turned into a gossipy free-for-all show, with no discussion or interviewing. Very GMTV I must say today.
On the other hand, Fred Talbot was excellent; ever the legend he is.
Fred Talbot was absolutely brilliant on Daybreak this morning, nice refreshing change.
ITV need to get out of the mindset that Daybreak is the 'One Show in the morning', because it makes for grim viewing. Today was a perfect example of ITV trying to use a presenter with no news experience to present a morning news show with entertainment and weather. Katy Hill was brilliant to look at, but she was not ideal to present. The 'flirting' from Dan towards her was cringe worthy. I do hope in January that we move away from the light news spreading we receive and get a decent programme, because Daybreak can be - they just need to find their priority and their viewer.

Good lord. Only "jealous" people wouldn't like Tasmin, and those who dislike Kay Burley are "threatened" by her, eh? You've got an interesting way of reconciling differing opinions, haven't you.
You may not like that others don't agree with you, but if you can't come to terms with it without lumping everyone who doesn't into these ridiculous categories, then you might want to think about whether you should be spending time on discussion forums.
But reading the autocue is a fine talent. We shouldn't be so hard on Tasmin if that's all she's doing wrong. This guy was completely useless at reading the autocue and always got his words wrong:
This is the story of Rindercella and her sugly isters.
Rindercella and her sugly isters lived in a marge lansion. Rindercella worked very hard frubbing sloors, emptying poss pits, and shivelling shot.
At the end of the day, she was knucking fackered. The sugly isters were right bugly astards. One was called Mary Hinge, and the other was called Betty Swallocks; they were really forrible huckers;they had fetty sweet and fatty swannies.
The sugly isters had tickets to go to the ball, but the cotton runts would not let Rindercella go.
Suddenly there was a bucking fang, and her gairy fodmother appeared. Her name was Shairy Hithole and she was a light rucking fesbian. She turned a pumpkin and six mite wice into a hucking cuge farriage with six dandy ronkeys who had buge hollocks and dig bicks. The gairy fodmother told Rindercella to be back by dimnlight otherwise, there would be a cucking falamity.
At the ball, Rindercella was dancing with the prandsome hince when suddenly the clock struck twelve. "Mist all chucking frighty!!!" said Rindercella, and she ran out tripping barse over ollocks,so dropping her slass glipper.
The very next day, the prandsome hince knocked on Rindercella's door and the sugly isters let him in.. Suddenly, Betty Swallocks lifted her leg and let off a fig bart.. "Who's fust jarted?" asked the prandsome hince."Blame that fugly ucker over there!!" said Mary Hinge.
When the stinking brown cloud had lifted, he tried the slass glipper on both the sugly isters without success and their feet stucking funk. Betty Swallocks was ducking fisgusted and gave the prandsome hince a knack in the kickers. This was not difficult as he had bucking fuge halls and a hig bard on. He tried the slass glipper on Rindercella and it fitted pucking ferfectly.
Rindercella and the prandsome hince were married. The pransome hince lived his life in lucking fuxury, and Rindercella lived hers with a follen swanny

(This was originally shown on BBC TV back in the 70's. Ronnie Barker could say all this without a snigger, though God knows after how many takes.
The irony is, BBC received not one complaint.
The speed of delivery must have been too much for the whining herds. Try getting through it without converting the spoonerisms [and not wetting your pants] as you read.......)
