I'll statt with one who not many people will know unless they follow horse racing. Megan Nicholls, daughter of trainer Paul, is only 27, but her knowledge of the sport is amazing, she is a real professional, and likes to have a laugh. Also she has another career modelling clothers for events like Royal Ascot and is probably one of the best looking women on teleivision.

Alice Roberts and Bettany Hughes, also Simon Reeve, Ben Fogle and of course Sir David.

Kate1949 Sun 10-May-26 13:56:55

Simon Reeve is adorable.

JaneJudge Sun 10-May-26 14:03:26

I can't think I watch anything really where people present other than Ant and Dec confused

Yes, all the above.
And Steve Backshall
Plus the local weather presenters, Ian Fergusson and Charlie Powell.

Dermot O’Leary.
I liked Sue Barker, I’m sad she lost Question of Sport and Wimbledon.
Clive Myrie
Sara Cox, she’s a bit bonkers, but genuine.

Neil Oliver from Coast. Simon Reeve.
Sir David of course.

So proessional and none of her replacements have ever been able to come up to her standards.

Anniebach Sun 10-May-26 14:57:45

Ben Fogle
Sir David
Clive Marie

Still cross no Sue Barker

Kate1949 Sun 10-May-26 15:00:07

Also our local weather man Des Coleman in his sharp suits bouncing around like Tigger.

Allira Sun 10-May-26 15:01:59

Clive Myrie (DD said she could fall in love with him just because of his voice!).

lixy Sun 10-May-26 15:03:25

Krishnan Guru Murphy
Clive Myrie
Amol Rajan
Claudia Winkleman
Fiona Bruce
Charlotte Smith

Many of those named above, and also Joann Fletcher who used to present amazing documentaries about Ancient Egypt.

MissAdventure Sun 10-May-26 15:23:32

Gamal Fahnbulleh. Northern tv news presenter. Those eyes!

Nell82 Sun 10-May-26 15:55:31

I love sports commentator, Andrew Cotter, for the YouTube videos of his dogs. The latest is "Olive and Mabel - The Eternal Hope"

Another one here for Ramesh Ranganathan, I think he may be flattered that us old grannies fancy him.

Allira Sun 10-May-26 16:16:49

I don't fancy him, just enjoy his programmes!

Lona Sun 10-May-26 16:17:09

Dan Walker for me, he's just so normal! Love him and his lovely dog Winnie.
