Nina's Career Journey
Nina has been a staple on screens for years, having served as a business and consumer presenter on BBC Breakfast before moving to present BBC News at One in May 2024. She was appointed lead presenter of the programme the following year, succeeding Anna Foster.
Reflecting on her new role, Nina said: "I'll be hanging up the high-viz and hairnet for a wee while as I join the BBC's News at One. It's been a privilege to help support our audiences through this tumultuous time."
