Sky Sports news is among the leading 24 hours sports news channels in UK and Ireland. Launched in October 1998, they have made great strides now. Operated by Sky Sports, this channel is known to provide entertaining and informative news from the world of sport.
Apart from the content in the show, what also holds the viewers attention are the Sky Sports News girls. Beautiful, attractive, confident, intelligent and well informed these are only a few adjectives which can be used to explain the female news presenters of Sky Sports News.
Amongst the most popular Sky Sports News girls are Georgie Thompson, Millie Clode, Vicky Gomershall and Alex Hammond. Amongst all of them it has been Georgie Thompson who’s been the most popular and successful. Currently residing in the Upminister area of Essex, she’s been working together with Sky Sports since 2001. She has a keen comprehension of sports and also the viewers as well. Georgie Thompson has been in charge of covering some major sports activities such as Grand Prix Masters, A1Grand Prix, and Race of the Champions, Speedway World Cup as well as the US Open as well. A sports woman herself, Georgie Thompson has taken part in several international junior tennis championships during her formative years 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 amongst the top 100 Sexiest Women In the World 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 too. Ranked first in the Top ten TV Sports Babes by The Sun, Millie Clode has been with Sky Sports News since January 2006. Even though she was hired by Sky Sports News, she didn’t continue to turn into a presenter with immediate effect. She had to first spend two months understanding the dynamics of the news channel.
Vicky Gomershall joined the Sky Sports News team in 2005. She had started off a reporter covering events around the North West and ultimately migrated to becoming a presenter. A self confessed football fan, she actually is a Cheltenham Town follower. Aside from football, cricket is also listed amongst her favorite sports. She is also thought to enjoy athletics and has run for Cheltenham back then when her hero was Daly Thompson. In the earlier years Vicky Gomershall played with the Fulham Ladies and still keeps that interest alive by playing 5-a-side-football.
Alex Hammond has become a part of Sky Sports News fraternity since 2003. She has joined the team as a racing expert and went on to becoming the presenter of Good Morning Sports Fans. She has interviewed a number of top racing names including Sir Alex Ferguson, Mick Channon, Sir Bobby Robson, A.P. McCoy, Pat Eddery amongst a great many others.
