The presenters: Fiona Foster

Fiona's first job - if you don't count waitressing, greyhound announcing and.... oh yes, more waitressing -came at BBC Radio Oxford in 1985. A year later she headed north to Radio Nottingham then back down to London's Capital Radio and onto the newly formed GLR to co-present the Breakfast Show.
 
In 1989, for reasons she still doesn't quite understand, she was offered the chance to present Business Breakfast on BBC1's newly relaunched Breakfast News. After two and a half years of getting up at 3am, she finally got some sleep, stopped being quite so grumpy and did a short stint on the Holiday programme. She then became the video reporter on the first series of BBC1's 999, following the emergency services around with her trusty camera work.
 
From 1993 she fronted London Tonight and ITV's primetime show, Missing.  In 1996 she moved to Atlanta in the US for the next three years to anchor CNN's World News, covering numerous breaking news events, including the death of Princess Diana.
 
When she came back from the States, with two babies under two in tow, she started at the recently created Tonight, which has been undoubtedly the most interesting job she's ever had.  For someone who was born nosy, it's a complete privilege to be able to have a peek, however fleeting, into other people's lives.
 
In her time off, Fiona likes playing tennis, poker and golf, watching films and theatre with her husband and baking cakes with her gorgeous girls.
