She is brilliant though and if it was up to me I'd make her the main anchor of the 6pm news with Clive taking on the 10pm - though suspect if she made a more permanent shift to the BBC1 bulletins she might end up sharing the Ten with Clive with Sophie leading the 6pm team, which would work just as well.
In Sue Barker’s autobiography she said the original plan for the opening ceremony was that newsreaders were going to host that as well. So Mishal was part of the drive to make the Olympics seem more newsy.
