FIONA PHILLIPS As the lead presenter on GMTV, Fiona's warmth, intellect and genuine interest has drawn interviewees to the GMTV sofa from all walks of life, from real life stories told by the people whose lives have been affected by the events featured on the show, to celebrities and politicians. As a journalist Fiona writes a weekly column for The Daily Mirror and is regularly asked to contribute to a number of women's weekly and monthly magazines. She also hosts her own show every Sunday on Smooth Radio. Independent radio is where she began her career, having graduated with a B.A. Hons degree in English and a Post Graduate Certificate in radio journalism. It wasn't long before she made the move into television, rapidly being promoting from regional programming to a full time reporter for Sky News. Fiona's warmth, sense of humour and flair for production was evident and she soon became Sky's Entertainment Editor, producing, reporting and presenting Sky News Entertainment output. After moving to Los Angeles, Fiona became the entertainment correspondent for GMTV. For over two years, she covered some of the biggest stories including the OJ Simpson trial, Michael Jackson's alleged child molestation case and the Oscars to name a few. She also interviewed some of the screen's hottest names from Leonardo DiCaprio and Clint Eastwood, to Brad Pitt and Mel Gibson. |
