Hattie leaving

There’s a new lady on now with a pink blouse on with long dark hair. Gosh, I think she screeches as much as Hattie. Is it a prerequisite for presenters on Gemporia to screech and squawk? Don’t who she is but I think I may have seen her on Hobbymaker.

Is it me or Hattie is having a greater send-off than Lynn Jinx earlier this year?

That's Kate McCarthy. She's not new. She's been there for over ten years. She's just been promoted to the afternoon slot from mornings to replace Jess Absolutely.

If you think she's bad, wait until the new presenter starts on Friday. If the clues are anything to go by so far, it looks as though Vicky Gordon could be Hattie's replacement on Gems TV going forward.

Your face has to fit at Gemporia. It seems as though everyone loves Hattie - whereas it is clear from Lynn's little digs and body language that she'd had enough.

Idea. You could find where she's Pilates-ing and join her program. Then you wouldn't miss her dulcet tones.

Or just step outside the front door of your house, where you'll still not miss her dulcet tones.

Steph is meant to be taking over from Hattie on afternoons and I don’t see Vicki taking a full time role on the morning shift (given her Sewing Street and Jewellery maker roles such a move would only create a shortage elsewhere).
The entire Gemporia group seems to be using less presenters more often so i suspect that both the entire breakfast shift as well as Jess’ side of afternoons will have no fixed presenter for the foreseeable future.

Kate originally did the afternoon shift and moved to mornings, it was her choice! So she hasn't been promoted to afternoon. Plus Steph is going to be doing afternoon shift.

Kate does appear to have largely returned to afternoons with the occasional morning thrown in. I suspect that on paper at least Kate is covering Jess on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and weekends with Vicki Norris covering on Mondays and Thursdays (with Kate maintaining her Tuesday and Wednesday breakfast shows on the opposite shift pattern to have a full set of shifts with fixed days off). Steph will then move into Hatties side of the afternoon show. This leaves the whole of the Angeline side and Monday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday of the Ellie side of breakfast uncovered (with Rosie continuing to present the Ellis side of Sundays). These shifts will probably then see a combination of Rosie Wells, Vicki Gordon, Cherry Cavill, Jeff Hayden (Friday-Sunday only), anyone looking for overtime and the occasional appearance of Milly Griffiths.

Thank you. I don’t think I’d seen her before. I’ll look forward to Vicky Gordon (not) as I suspect it’ll be volume off.

It's already been announced earlier today that a new presenter is starting on Friday. Two presenters have dropped clues as to who it is - and the clues point towards Vicky Gordon. Hopefully, i'm misreading the clues though because Vicky Gordon is yet another than insists of shouting and never pausing for breath.

Regardless of who it is, there's definitely a new presenter starting on Friday. That was 100% confirmed earlier today.
