Two new hires for the emerging GB News - the face for Wales will be Lily Hewitson, 23, currently fixing for BBC Radio Wales Breakfast. She's managed to hold that gig while completing an MSc in Welsh Goverment and Politics at Cardiff, to add to a journalism degree from City University, London.
Loyal to her birthplace, Llandaff (she used to live next door to Gethin Jones' mum) she was good enough to be a ballet teacher in her sixth form years at the Bishop of Llandaff school.
Bringing slightly more experience to GB News in the North East of England is Rachel Sweeney, who's been some 13 years with ITV Tyne Tees, the last nine of those reading the local headlines on GMB. She went to Framwellgate School in Durham, then completed a BA in broadcast journalism at the University of Gloucestershire. Mother is Sue Sweeney, currently with community radio station Durham OnAir, with twenty years' presenting at Radio Cleveland and Radio Newcastle.
