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.

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.

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.

Unless I misheard, I'm almost certain that Kate said last week that she was moving back to afternoons. Steph will be on the rotation shift.

That bridges the gaps left by Hattie and Jess.

Presumably, that will mean that Vicky Norris is going to mornings, along with whoever the new presenter is, plus Rosie to plug the gaps.

That would kind of make sense too because new starters and returnees used to get put onto the unsociable overnight shifts until they'd 'earned' a move to better time slots - but as those no longer exists (apart from Jeff at weekends), presumably new starters and returnees are now put on the crack of dawn shift instead.

That would give the following:

Mornings (7am - 11am): Victoria Norris, New Presenter (Vicky Gordon?), Rosie Wells
Lunchtime (11am - 3pm): Ellis Ward, Angeline Davies
Afternoon (3pm - 7pm): Kate McCarthy, Steph Joseph
Evenings (7pm - 11pm): Adina Stubbs, Lindsey Carr

If I did mishear Kate, then it doesn't change a great deal - she'll just have the morning slot, and Victoria Norris will likely cover afternoons, with the new presenter bridging the gaps between the morning rotation and the afternoons when Victoria Norris isn't working (she was part time before - so presumably she's part time upon her return too. She's only been on once since her return a week ago, so I think that's a safe assumption).
 
As for Hattie, I, as many others have done, have given her stick for her presenting style - but to be fair to Hattie, she does seem more genuine than a lot of presenters, and I think her bubbly personality is the way she naturally is. I suspect that outside of presenting, she's actually a really nice, down to earth person. She strikes me as the sort of person that would help anyone out if they really needed help.

When the Queen passed away and Hattie had to drastically tone down her shouty style of presenting, she was actually really good and a pleasure to watch.

I wish her well in her new career.
 
I watched a bit of Hattie's show yesterday. There was genuine laughter and a lot of love shared. It was manic at times but likeable. Hattie is a natural and was thoroughly enjoying her last show. The guys in the PJs also joined in the fun as did Kati. Lots of lovely messages was also read out. I hope she does well.
