Sarah-Jane Mee to replace Eamonn Holmes as Sky News Sunrise anchor
Sky news Sunrise has appointed Sarah-Jane Mee and co-host Jonathan Samuels to fill a vacancy created by the departure of Eamonn Holmes from its flagship breakfast news bulletin.
Starting on 17 October Mee will join sports presenter Jacquie Beltrao and weather presenters Isobel Lang and Nazaneen Ghaffar in the hot seat, expressing herself to be ‘absolutely thrilled’ at the prospect.
Mee said: “I feel privileged that I will be starting the day with Sunrise viewers around the UK and beyond. Live news is always such a thrill, you never know where the morning will take you and I looking forward to finding out.”
The presenter began her career at the broadcaster as a runner for Sky Sports before progressing to ITV as a sports reporter in 2002 before embarking on a short career as a DJ at heart FM prior to a return to Sky in 2008 since when she has become a regular fixture on Sky News.
