And the biggest mystery of all time , why did Christa  Acroyd disappear .

It isnt that much of a mystery...

 

" In July 2013, the BBC announced that Ackroyd had been dismissed after what was considered to be an unspecified "breach of contract" and would not return to present Look North. Ackroyd's freelance contract was terminated without compensation."

I bet she could tell some stories.

The story she would not  like to re ash, is when she was stood outside the Plough in Catcliffe reporting on the floods at the time, when a bunch of druken yobs came out of the pub behind her and started jeering and shouting profanities at her,  the best thing was, whilst she was sqirming and trying ignore them she was kept on air, eventually she lost the plot and told them to grow up and get back inside the pub.

So tell us what the unspecified breach of contract was.

I was once told that at a major boxing event she got drunk and offered herself in no uncertain way to a famous Sheffield boxer

For a while in the late 1980s I lived in the East Midlands, for my sins, and I noticed whilst watching ITV, the continuity announcers / presenters were visible. I can't ever remember them ever being visible on Yorkshire TV - can anyone remember if they were?

I quite like the idea of that job....Particularly if I could be like this

Im not even gonna go on about Greg Wallace the ex Millwall Hooligan who has a list of Violent offences.

That cuddly bear from Masterchef?

 

I couldn't imagine him saying boo to a goose.  I could imgaine him eating a couple though.

 

Oh, and its Gregg (two g's) by the way.  He gets mardy if you don't include the second g.
