Shefali was spotted by the then TV News Editor, Peter Lowe,
and the rest - as they say - is history!
Mind you it's all a far cry from the role she actually trained
for - as a solicitor!
But Shefali, the daughter of a Nottingham GP, admits that
was really her "safe option" if her television ambitions could
not be fulfilled.
Every weekday she prepares for her TV forecasts by spending
time at the Met Office talking to meteorologists and writing
her own scripts and storylines.
As well as her full nightly forecast on the programme, Shefali
also presents a weather bulletin on the lunchtime news.
Her roles has expanded over the years, with a series of successful
features, including Shefali's Diary, Shef to Chef, Shefali's
Gardens and her most recent achievement when she became the
first female civilian to spend a week on the Royal Navy submarine
HMS Splendid.
