I don't think she had anyway. However, she had done weekend bulletins in the ivory/cream era

Really interesting how things turn out. I know for sure that Sian Williams did the 6 from that same set, so if you're right, she naturally did it before Sophie and then became her deputy.

Sian Williams was a special correspondent for the Six O’Clock News when it relaunched in 1999. She was also a deputy presenter, a role which she kept after becoming the weekend presenter on Breakfast in 2001. Essentially, she remained in the same place in the 2003 relaunch although she presented more editions as stand-in when Sophie was away. 

The 2003 relaunch also brought Bill Turnbull to the Sux as George’s deputy. Both Bill and Sian would be replaced on Breakfast if they presented the Six during the week.
