Sky Sports news is among the leading 24 hours sports news channels in UK and Ireland. Launched in October 1998, they have come a long way now. Operated by Sky Sports, this channel is known to provide entertaining and informative news in the arena of sport.
Apart from the content of the show, what also props up viewers attention are the Sky Sports News girls. Beautiful, attractive, confident, intelligent and well informed these are only a few adjectives that can be used to describe the feminine news presenters of Sky Sports News.
One of the most popular Sky Sports News girls are Georgie Thompson, Millie Clode, Vicky Gomershall and Alex Hammond. Amongst them all it has been Georgie Thompson who’s been the most popular and successful. Currently living in the Upminister area of Essex, she’s been working together with Sky Sports since 2001. She’s got a keen comprehension of sports and of the viewers at the same time. Georgie Thompson has also been in charge of covering some major sports activities such as Grand Prix Masters, A1Grand Prix, and Race of the Champions, Speedway World Cup and the US Open too. A sports woman herself, Georgie Thompson has participated in several international junior tennis championships during her childhood in Queenswood Boarding School.
Georgie Thompsn considers the legendary David Frost her mentor. She co-hosted this program “Greatest Sporting legends” with David Frost that ran for period of 8 weeks and culminated in the crowing of Mohammad Ali. It came as no surprise when she was named one of the top one hundred Sexiest Women On the planet by the British mens magazine, FHM.
One of the latest Sky Sports News presenters is Millie Clode. Drop dead georgeous looks and a winning attitude took this girl from being a quiz show host to a television news presenter as well. Ranked first in the Top ten TV Sports Babes by The Sun, Millie Clode continues to be with Sky Sports News since January 2006. Despite the fact that she was hired by Sky Sports News, she didn’t continue to turn into a presenter with immediate effect. She had to first spend a couple of months learning the dynamics of the news channel.
Vicky Gomershall joined the Sky Sports News team in 2005. She’d started off a reporter covering events around the North West and finally migrated to being a presenter. A self confessed football fan, she actually is a Cheltenham Town follower. Apart from football, cricket is also listed amongst her favorite sports. She is also thought to enjoy athletics and has run for Cheltenham during the time when her hero was Daly Thompson. In her earlier years Vicky Gomershall played with the Fulham Ladies and still keeps that interest alive by playing 5-a-side-football.
Alex Hammond has been a part of Sky Sports News fraternity since 2003. She has joined the group as a racing expert and went on to becoming the presenter of Good Morning Sports Fans. She’s interviewed several top racing names such as Sir Alex Ferguson, Mick Channon, Sir Bobby Robson, A.P. McCoy, Pat Eddery amongst many others.
