After David Davis' statement last night the ITV NC camera turned to Nick Robinson, who didn't seem to be ready to speak to Alastair Stewart. Flicking over to News 24, for the next few minutes Robinson could be seen gesticulating and having an animated conversation in the background of Andrew Marr's two-way with Jon Sopel (who was standing about 100 yards away just across the road on College Green)

Leyla Daybelge returns to the ITV News Channel on Monday, according to the ITV.com schedule page...

Can someone change the title of this thread to something like "ITV News Discussion"?

It's a bit misleading at the moment... "ITV News Changes" - I know it evolved from this subject at the beginning, but wouldn't it seem logical to change it now?

Excellent! She is certainly one of the best anchors on the News Channel and she also has a glamour (without covering herself in cheap stuff) and she speaks and looks natural and confident.
Very Happy

The ITV News Channel are currently rerunning this morning's match in the Rugby World Cup.

But its obvious that all they've done is tape it off ITV2 because it has the ITV2 DOG in the corner. So after about 5 mins they've decided to cover it up with the big ITV News logo!

Will be great to see Leyla back. I would also like to see Katy Haswell back on the channel, she was fab and would be a great asset to ITV News.

So what was Leyla like today then?

I hope that Leyla will be back on the Weekend News on ITV1 soon. Even better if they could put her on on weekdays.

Ever so slightly off topic, but I've just seen a rather cringeworthy scene of Sir Trevor McDonald attempting to box Frank Bruno on the Tonight programme!

I thought that was fab, showed a very human side to Trevor, when a lot of people on her complain that he's wooden. He can't win !!!

I totally agree with you SE!

Trevor CAN be wooden when reading off an auto-cue but it has been refreshing to see him conduct this interview.

I wonder if ITV chiefs will ever show his ITV2 chat-show again! Im intrigued how well he performed on that?
