Shaun
joined Look East in 1998, initially as a news reporter. It wasn't
long before he transferred to sport. He's worked for the BBC man
and boy - 18 years at the last count.
Shaun
started his career as a newspaper journalist, then left the print
world to join BBC Radio Lincolnshire where he spent five years as
a reporter, presenter and technical operator.
He
also produced a pioneering and controversial comedy programme for
the East Midlands region.
Shaun
spent the next five years at BBC Radio Cambridgeshire as a sports
producer and drivetime presenter.
He then went BBC Essex for five years where he launched a new drivetime
programme before moving to mornings to host the breakfast show.
The
call of television provided the scratch for the five-year itch!
Away from work, Shaun is fascinated by the art of stand-up comedy.
He even tried it himself, but never again!
He
plays squash, guitar and CDs. Shaun's other interests include real
food, real ale and red wine.
He says, "I love cooking with wine - and sometimes I put it in the
food! I always start with garlic and onions - it doesn't matter
what goes in after that." Delia has nothing to fear.
