Veteran broadcaster Penny Smith is set to make a return to BBC Morning Live after a 16-year absence. Smith, who originally co-presented the programme from 2000 to 2002, will rejoin the team for a special segment later this month.
The 60-year-old journalist and presenter left the show in 2002 to pursue other projects, including work on BBC Radio 2 and various television documentaries. Her return marks a nostalgic moment for long-time viewers of the programme.
BBC Morning Live, which airs weekday mornings, has undergone several format changes since Smith's departure. The show currently focuses on a mix of lifestyle, consumer, and health features, alongside news and entertainment.
Smith expressed enthusiasm about returning to the programme, stating she looks forward to reconnecting with the audience. The exact date of her appearance has not yet been confirmed.
