I was expecting Alison Hammond or Sharon Marshall. Quite a pleasant surprise to see someone off the ITV piste and who I think will do really well at it.

Maybe ITV have realised the dangers of relying on a small handful of presenters to host programmes.

I dare say they opted not to use other 'safe pair of hands' presenters that ITV often use such as Holly, Alison, or Dermot due to their association with This Morning, and potential awkwardness if that topic came up during the awards ceremony. I can imagine that some of those handing out and receiving awards might be tempted to mention it and suggest it should have been nominated/won certain categories.

I suspect Jane McDonald will be fairly popular amongst the programme's target audience, and should do well. It's certainly nice to see different people presenting programmes.
