Скачать или смотреть Presenting ITV London Late News

I had the privilege of presenting the Late News on ITV News London for the first time on Wednesday. It was a real moment. 15-year-old me, who started with work experience at a local radio station, is so happy her dream has come true!

Growing up, I’ve watched many inspiring figures at this desk. I now have the privilege of working with amazing colleagues who sit in this seat. And I’m delighted to share the space as a freelancer.

Thank you to our Editor for championing me, and to the entire team for being so supportive and lovely!

As a woman whose childhood dream looked just like this; as a journalist who has worked hard across roles as a producer, reporter, presenter; and as a freelancer, this moment means so much - and is one that will live with me forever.
