Did my own research on some former reporters, Asha Tanna (one of my favourites) has turned into Diane Fossey and is training to become an Primatologist and Catherine Marston has become a professional photographer under her married name of Cat Hepple.

Haven't seen Claire Marshall in ages, Thalia Pellegrini disappeared years ago, and Laura Jones never came back from maternity leave, anyone know what they are doing now?

I'm sure I saw a report (VO only) from Asha Tanna on Channel 4 News the other day.

Former Anglia News presenter Clare Weller, now works as Head of Communications at the Broads Authority.


May have been mentioned elsewhere in this thread, but I believe Clare's former colleague, Stephen Lee, has moved to Australia, and is working in TV news over there for Australian broadcasters.

Stephen, like Clare has a fantastic website also. He works as a producer on Ten's National News (early morning I believe).

I'm always surprised that Leyla Daybelge just disappeared after the end of the ITV News Channel. She was the main presenter on London Tonight for a while; she also regularly presented the Evening News.
Then nothing.
A/ She was very good. B/ She was very pretty. C/ She had an Irish accent and a foreign sounding name, which ticks multiple boxes as far as "diversity" is concerned.... that's all they seem to care about.


Leyla Daybridge was also the presenter on air on the ITN News channel when the first plane crashed into the World Trade Centre if I remember rightly?
