Bob Warman

I’ve been on your screens for 36 years – according to ‘Steve Wright in the Afternoon’ the longest serving anchorman on the same programme in the world! Born in Walsall, and educated at Wrekin College, Wellington, I worked on several newspapers and in radio before joining ATV in 1973. I am President of the Birmingham Press Club, the world’s oldest Press Club, and an honorary Vice-President of the Journalists’ Charity. Also President of the Acorns Business Club which supports the Acorns Hospices, and Regional Chairman of Coutts & Co, private bank.

Sameena Ali-Khan

I was hoping to qualify as a doctor but instead I got a science degree, an MA in TV and more importantly some life experience. I began presenting in commercial radio then moved to BBC Asian Network, BBC GMR, WM and London and 5 Live. Then came the screen test. Since then I’ve worked as a reporter/presenter for Northwest Today, Inside Out, Midlands Today and now Central Television. I host many high profile events/award ceremonies and away from TV I love my family, swimming, cooking, and shopping!

Louisa James

Louisa gets up at 4.30 am to read Central’s breakfast bulletins. She was born in Switzerland and grew up in London and Amsterdam. Louisa started her journalism career at the BBC in Leicester. She moved to Birmingham to join ITV Central in 2005 and worked as a reporter and presenter for the East Midlands region. Louisa likes baking, singing, playing the piano and afternoon naps.

Lucy Kite

Lucy is Central Tonight's Weather Presenter. She started her career at ITV Central 12 years ago and throughout that time has proved she’s not afraid of a challenge from dancing on ice with Torvill and Dean to stunt driving with Shayne Ward and is currently training to trek the Great Wall of China for Charity! Lucy also steps in as the main anchor of Central Tonight, fronted the popular series Sky High and won an RTS Awards for Best Entertainment Show with Rock Legends.

Steve Clamp

You could say sport is in my blood - my great grandfather was a Notts County player until the start of the First World War. Sadly his playing skills were not passed onto me! So it was TV for me, I started aged 19 working for Chelsea Football Club on their in house station and since then have presented and reported for MUTV, Sky Sports News, the BBC, ITN, Setanta and of course ITV Central...
