Thalia Pellegrini

I notice that Thalia Pellegrini, ex-reporter on NTL Local Channel's 'LL Extra', was credited as one of the Newsround team on today's end-of-year alphabetical end credits. Has she appeared on screen yet? She was easily LL Extra's most profesional presenter (for better or worse!). She's gonna be famous five years from now, just you wait and see...

Is she Italian or Indian, or Sri Lankan?

If this works, then you can make your own guess...

Inicdentally, now I think of it, since there hasn't been any new LL Extra for months (the last edition has been running several times a day since mid-Spetember), has anyone sighted any of the other 'stars' elsewhere? This would be...

Rebecca Sorby
Lee 'not THAT Lee Bowyer' Bowyer
Merewyn Snowden-Youde (crazy name, crazy gal)
Zak Shaikh
Cathy Wigley

and of course the queen of dead cheap 'community' TV...
Otillia Ordog!


If I were a TV producer, I'd certainly snap up Merewyn and Lee pretty sharpish, they were two of the most watchable presenters on telly IHMO, and a great double-act when given the chance.  Give them 'This Morning', they'd be excellent! They certainly couldn't do any worse than anyone else who's had a go recently.  Or some kind of 'Light Lunch'-type format. I'd watch it!

Isn't she going to be one of the presenters of Newsround Lite when it launches on CBBC Digital in March? Thought I heard it somewhere...

ok, I'm now very much looking forward to the launch of CBBC digital then! more of her please!

That's given me one good reason to watch CBBC Digital then - somehow I'm not so against the idea of that channel any more! http://web.ukonline.co.uk/tv.home/forum/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://web.ukonline.co.uk/tv.home/forum/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://web.ukonline.co.uk/tv.home/forum/emoticons/biggrin.gif
