Of all the meaningful and serious journalism I’ve been involved in over the years, laying in a pothole is probably one of the stories I’ll now be remembered for courtesy of @haveigotnews last night! #hignfy 🕳 😂

Hello. Tonight’s Look North will come from Leeds due to operational issues in Hull. Of course stories from East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire will be included in this shared programme.

Closed with immediate effect- Pizza Hut in Kingswood, Hull this afternoon. Branches in Grimsby and Scunthorpe also shut down as firm running them goes bust. 1,210 jobs lost across the country. I’ll have more on @looknorthBBC tonight

Thanks for all the incredible messages. In the end it didn’t work out - so back on the list. And more importantly back for the wonders of international week. What a treat.

A wise move…and the rain in the city centre has definitely eased off in the last 20 minutes. Once this heavy band of rain clears, radar appears to show not much behind it 🤞🏼 #gtfc

I’ve been in Manchester for the past few days, and I can confirm it’s completely bucketed down for much of the last 24hrs. It paused a bit last night, and actually dried up for a bit in the city. Bad this morning though…but radar indicates worst passes around 11:40am #gtfc

There will now be a precautionary pitch inspection by 11:30 ahead of this afternoon's fixture against @officialgtfc after a change in the conditions and forecast over the last hour. We will provide an update afterwards.

These goals, and one of the most welcomed red cards I’ve seen at BP, in the space of five minutes. Followed by a 7-1 final score. Things you love to see!! #gtfc

We even came out the bag early so missed out on loads of the exciting suspense!! Could have been worse. But we’ve definitely all got a bit greedy haven’t we 😂 #gtfc

A little update on me. I’ve been away from work for the last few months because I haven’t been well. Thanks to everyone who contacted me. In other news my job is changing slightly. I’m really sad to say that I’ll no longer be doing my usual Friday weather slot on Look North (1/3)

A wonderful day helping my good mate @peter_levy celebrate his big birthday yesterday- and a really special day for us all at @looknorthBBC too. A friend I’ve learned so much from over the years, and who has always been there for me on a personal level too. What a legend x
