Natasha Kaplinsky To Leave BBC

One of the BBC's best known presenters and newsreaders, Natasha Kaplinsky, is leaving. She's off to Channel Five and will be hosting their main evening news at 5.30 p.m. and 7 p.m.

Natasha Kaplinsky said, "After five incredibly rewarding years at the BBC, I found the chance to work with the team at Five too exciting to pass up."

Over the years she has attracted some criticism, mostly unfounded, and has been excellent on shows such as Strictly Come Dancing and Children In Need. She has a natural relaxed manner but her good looks seem to upset so called serious news people. She's a bright woman though and gained an English degree at Oxford.

The Five News editor got it right when he said, "She is a great communicator and has a really distinctive style that sets her apart."

I'm sure Five News will get value for their money.
