(a legend at least in her own mind)
Yes it's Christa Ackroyd, ex of YTV's Calendar and now possibly the Beeb's Look
North Leeds. On holiday for a few weeks in Australia, back in the UK for a few
weeks but still not on the screens maybe due to a contract renewal dispute.

Some class comments there.
"Maybe she's gone for a respray"
"plastic surgery"
"dumped in favour of younger, sexier birds"
�150,000 a year for maybe two hours of screen time a week from someone IMHO too
loud, too old and too ugly for TV, with an irritating affected voice not
suitable for public consumption. The double act with Harry Gration is better
than the sum of the parts and he clearly works well with some of the younger
crowd, but he can't be that far from retirement. I suppose the day will soon
come when BBC Yorkshire ends up just like the rest of the regions, still it
could be worse, they could let Peter Levy loose again.
