Nice to see the classic Daily Mail format in action.

Headline: "Married BBC stars Tim Willcox and Sophie Long banned from appearing together on screen after revealing affair"

Last line, BBC spokesperson quote: "It would be incorrect to suggest that we've banned them from appearing together."

Some of those photo copyright attributions are deeply suspicious too.

I think it would be best for all of us to move on. Didn't intend a discussion of the article I posted. Let's keep on topic.

Keep on topic?!? ...I thought the whole point of this thread was to delve into the minutiae of presenters lives? ...oh, whats that?... stalking is illegal now.

I'm guessing Chris Rogers is on tonight , as Chris Eakin had been on location over the weekend, but was Ellie Crisell standing in for 'someone' last night, as it's not very often she is on in the evenings, plus she did disappear to do the 8pm BBC One headlines as well?

Ellie Crisell was sitting in for Joanna Gosling last night on the 6.30pm shift. She's been doing this shift a fair bit recently - I suppose it saves the Beeb some money, by using the 8pm summary presenter who's already around, rather than bringing in a separate relief presenter. And yes, she did go off around 8pm to do the 90 secs update on BBC1.

I wonder why they never use Riz Lateef on the News Channel on a Friday night when she's in for the 8pm summary, covering for Annita McVeigh whenever she's absent. It would be ideal, and it's not like she's never presented on the channel before.

Does Riz still present BBC London on a Friday when she is doing the 8pm?

Ah yes, I forgot about her doing BBC London! Maybe that's the reason why then.

It has been known for Riz to present the 6.30 bulletin then go to TVC for the 8 if she's not on late duty.

The BBC have locked them in the dungeons for a few weeks to teach them a lesson.
