“I was working as a print journalist before I gave broadcasting a go, and spent years behind the camera in production while building up on-screen credits, but I know so many others with totally different experiences.”

“One of the first and most important times someone put their faith in me was when I first worked at ITN, one of the news and entertainment editors trusted me with producing and presenting the 4Music breakfast news.

“For me, the ideal job would be 'The One Show' because you're constantly talking to new people.”
