Obviously a mistake - one of the CNN mods has just been talking about here, so she's probably on CNN International now.

Mr Seki wouldn't say that for no reason, so he must have seen her lingering about CNN somewhere!

So why is she supposedly (according to the BBC) presenting Breakfast on Monday?

Ohh, confusing!
Perhaps it was a last minute defection?
She may be on CNN International right now, I'll have a look.

I'll have a look at Breakfast on Monday.

If she's moved, she must have gone quick - the BBC released that she was on on Monday, on Monday!! If you can follow what I mean!

Most likely presenting 'CNN World News Europe', from London.

Yes, she's on CNN!!

Wow this is BIG news!

I haven't seen her on BBC World News for about a year now. Well, I wonder who will be doing Breakfast on Monday?

Yet another BBC anchor moves to CNN!
Probably because of CNN's plans to make London the new CNN Europe Centre.

I was just looking back at her career at BBC World.com

She's been one of BBC World's main presenters. Niki was called in for a 5-hour special on the day Princess Diana died. She's also preseted many specialist prgrammes for BBC World, like Anita McNaught. She also worked for TV-am, as did Peter Coe and Maxine Mawhinney. I wonder whats happened to her this last year, as I say, I haven't seen her since Christmas 2000.

She's been a Five Live for a while.
Wonder if CNN have found time to put up a profile...

Aah right. She may have got fed up of doing BBC World News.
