Once again it's podcast time. For the second episode of series three I present
to you a chat with Leah Charles-King.
Leah presented the continuity links (or the bits in-between the programmes) on CITV between 2001 and 2003. Along side Michael
Underwood, Stephen Mulhern, David Leon and Leigh Morrison. This was before the
days of the CITV channel, when it was a block of programmes that went out on the
main ITV channel between 3:25pm and 5:00pm.
Leah also talks about her departure from CITV in 2003 when numerous changes were brought in, Leah then went on to present for The Disney Channel. Soon after this CITV left Birmingham after broadcasting live links there since the 1980's and continuity eventually went to voiceover only for the second time which has remained ever since.
I was really pleased to finally get
a CITV presenter on the podcast as I was always more a CITV watcher. Leah presented the links very much in the era I watched, back when links were broadcast from ITV Central's studios in Gas
Street, Birmingham. In this hour long chat she talks about how she went from
being in a girl band called Kleshay to presenting on CITV and all the great
moments she had along the way including presenting the CITV 20th Birthday Bash.

Leah is on Twitter and Instagram. She
also runs the Red Carpet Academy where she teaches people how to improve their presenting skills on camera.
