Don't you think Kirsty's hairdo made her look so old?
I have always been a Mary Nightingale fan since London Tonight, so my vote goes to her. Katie Derham a close second.

Yay ! Mary's great, but hasn't she just cut back on her workload, wanted more family time and that ? When Kirstie came back from maternity leave she became all demour and he hair was awful. She seemed to have more life in her presenting 5 News.

And what is it with Kirsty Young & Andrea Catherwood, they can't seem to decide which way they want to go !

Mich, 5 News is being relaunched in the New Year, and that's official.

As for Kirsty and possibly Mary's replacement, step forward Miss Alison Bell. Well, maybe. She presented a newsflash on ITV on Sunday, and so she probably impressed bosses with her composure and professionalism, and boy did she suit the ITV studio! Well I like her anyway.

Or maybe Lovely Leyla Daybelge will get the job?

Yay, roll on the mocks! Lets hope they keep the music. Is it just me or shouldn't Katie Derham be more attractive with that name(for some reason) or is it just me?

I don't know anything but Liquid News said that the BBC were rumoured to want Mary to present BBC Breakfast.
I have to say having worked with Mary when she read the news on 5 Live she is a lovely lady.


Ah, now that might work. She might be good on Breakfast, not sure about the 6/10 though.

Mary Nightingale is apparently at the centre of a bidding war between ITV and the BBC. This is according to the Daily Mail and I havent read it so dont quote me on it....


Sorry about the quote Wink

Does anyone think this is true or know of it being true?  I hope not!  I really don't want her on BBC - I don't like her!  I much prefer Fiona Bruce/Sian Williams/Sarah Montague!

Does anyone agree/disagree?


I entirely agree - I dislike Mary Nigtingale immensely - she is too smu and has become too big for her boots since joining the ITV News team!
