There is a new presenter on next week on News 24 overnight. His name is Jon Kay. He will be doing Heather McCarthy's usual slot, and Fergus Nicoll will be doing Martine Croxall's. Actually Fergus Nicoll has been on a lot recently!

Oh god - not Fungus Nicoll!!

I happend to record the 3.00am bulletin of him the other day, and it was littered with mistakes, although as someone quite rightly pointed out to me, no-one is at their best at 3am! Smile

When was he last on News 24? Last week or the week before?

Anyway, anyone ever notice how he always says 'This is BBC News I'm Fergus Nicoll. Welcome to you '?

Jon's not new to News 24 ... he was one of the regular news correspondents.
Is currently a presenter/reporter in Bristol - which is actually where he was before he came to London.
he's a really nice guy

Nicky, is it true that Anna Jones will be on her own tomorrow, without Chris Lowe. And, on Saturday, is it true that Anna will be with Mike Embley until 2100 and then Chris Lowe will be on with Mike?
