It was a pleasure to join cybersecurity expert @jakemooreuk in the feature, who I learnt a lot from too! I realised before appearing that I’ve been a contributor on the show for over 11 years, presenting back to school tips segments, appearing in possibly hundreds of debates over the years relating to breaking news pieces and even covering Harry and Meghan’s royal wedding in Windsor! I’ve shared (some) photos here from over a decade along with my experiences and tips for anyone who might fancy being on the box too. Here’s to 11 years (and more) please!!
