She was one of the presenters for ITV's coverage of the Goodwood Revival and FoS. Also presented NFL coverage on Five, some other sports coverage over here and in the US as well.

Presents Police Interceptors on Channel 5. Knows little of F1. Glamourous microphone stand basically. Also, google images is your friend.

I wish they would go away also. Not fulfilling his contract? wasn't it them who basically gave his drive away to another driver anyway. Really hope they go bust!

I like Chandok but I think there is something more to it (payments not being made to the team
?) He was suspended after all, which might not mean much , but the team could have made it worse for him last season but they said little

Difficult to say whos in the wrong at the moment

Yeah I see where you are coming from there. Same with sunama. I didn't know about that to be honest.

Lets hope it all gets cleared up quickly though for both parties. Also great news about HD this year yay!

Hubba Hubba!

More eye candy for my HD TV in glorious HD. Did I mention HD?

Aren't people reading previous posts?

Mr.Fantastic · 13 Jan 2011 at 19:10

Google her name and there are some nice shots of her in a bikini

TaKeN · 13 Jan 2011 at 19:22

Google also suggests she was the tart who Prince Harry was famously photo'd squeezing her tats?

Bennah · 13 Jan 2011 at 21:15

Yes she was.

Personally haven't seen her on TV as a presenter. I guess she won't get major TV coverage in her new role. Holly Samos didn't compared to the full BBC TV coverage.

Any reasons why Holly Samos was dropped?

Saw a R5 Live tweet saying that she left to spend more time with her family. So looks like the only person "fired" was Legard. Still we have Brundle and Ted Kravitz so I'm happy.

Brundle vid and article. He is still doing pitwalks in 2011 but not at all tracks.

Only just seen the news on HD.

At long frigging last! Don't see why Bernie didn't get his finger out and do it last year TBH.

Great vid, i still can't see it working, r5l are still going to hand them their bums. Still red button. Yay for HD allthough this means moving to the lounge in the early races of if I've been working nights.
