Has Mike Embley, who used to do the 2am to 5am slot on BBC World News, been on Channel 5 before?
EDIT: Oh sorry. I made a mistake here. Please ignore my earlier post. Thanks.

Yeah, that’s the one. Charlotte’s been filling a similar role while freelancing for BBC News.

I’m pleased for Charlotte. I’ve always thought she was excellent on Look North. One of those broadcasters who has that magic combination of professionalism and warmth.
It’d be nice if she gets the opportunity to do some presenting as part of her new role.

I got the impression she had wanted to move away from TV news when she left BBC Yorkshire during the pandemic - but I guess she was drawn back into it eventually.
She had tweeted in the past about turning down freelance reporting shifts to focus on PR etc, but that changed over time.
Talking of shifting careers, one that caught my eye some years back was when one of ITV Wales' Northern reporters, Lorna Prichard, gave up journalism to pursue a career as a stand-up comic.
She's had considerable success with that - and has done some presenting on Radio Wales - but now, she's moving back into journalism as BBC Wales' new culture correspondent (presumably replacing the Arts & Media role left vacant)

It might not have been his first appearance, but noticed Dermot Murnaghan had popped up filling in on Times Radio Breakfast this morning.
