New This Morning Presenter: Melanie Sykes?
Two days left to go on our thorough – some would say tedious – earch to find the new replacement for Fern Britton on This Morning.
And with two days left, that can only mean that we’re playing with the big boys. You know, the megastars, the presenters who’ve left an indelible mark on the public consciousness, the heroes, the wizards, the globally-recognised celebrities.
So here’s the This Morning rundown for Melanie Sykes. Melanie Sykes. Oh, come on, you know her. You do…
Melanie Sykes – Remember Melanie Sykes? Oh, of course you do – she was the woman from the 1990s who had the face of a model and the voice of a cartoon greyhound breeder. Nobody’s heard much from Melanie Sykes since her show with Des O’Connor got axed a few years ago, but it seems like she’s been training herself up Rocky-style to land the This Morning gig. She’s starting to pop up here and there, making her presence and availability known to anyone who’s watching. And we’d definitely name her as a favourite to host This Morning, if only it wasn’t for the grating suspicion that she’d only be comfortable presenting items about eating tripe and cobbles. Because she’s northern, you see. Northern.
Tomorrow: Davina McCall.
