NATALIE GRAHAM
I thought I knew the South East pretty well - I've been reporting for South East Today since it started in 2001- but in the short time I've spent with the Inside Out team I've learnt even more!
It has given me the perfect opportunity to explore some of my favourite subjects.
I've discovered Shakespeare in Faversham and why the Romans loved Sussex so much.
And I'm looking forward to getting my teeth into some of the key issues affecting us all today.
I grew up in West Sussex and studied Psychology and Philosophy at Oxford but decided early on that I needed to find a job with variety and excitement - broadcasting seemed perfect.
After a postgraduate course in journalism I was taken on by the BBC as a local radio reporter based initially in Crawley then in Brighton.
I started reporting for Sussex in 1996 and from there I crossed into TV and joined the South East Today team.
I've spent the past decade reporting on every kind of news event in Kent and Sussex - from murder trials to general elections - with many light hearted moments in between.
These days I spend half my time in the studio reading the news and since 2010 I've presented the Politics Show.
I live in East Sussex with my family which includes a dog who doesn't realise how lucky he is to be walked in some of the country's most beautiful scenery. -
KADDY LEE PRESTON
First of all Kaddy isn't actually my real name. It's Kathryn. But 'Kaddy' came from the time when my family lived in Saudi Arabia.
We were out there for 12 years and every time we came back to England, when I met someone new, I called myself "Princess Kadina of the Middle East". So, it naturally got shortened to Kaddy.
This whole charade obviously only worked up to a certain age - there are only so many gullible 14-year-olds out there, but the name 'Kaddy' stuck with friends and now I'm used to it too!
I didn't start out as a presenter at all, in fact weather was my first love. Moving around a lot as a child I developed a rather geeky love of the weather. My dad was a fighter pilot and taught me about meteorology and the sky from when I was a wee whipper-snapper and I became hooked.
So I studied meteorology at Reading Uni for three years and then went on to do a year and a half extra study after my degree to become a fully qualified weather forecaster with the Met Office - studying for the hardest exams I've ever had to do in my life.
But I got through it and was then able to work out the best places to go for my weekends - very useful in this country.
I then went on to various forecasting jobs - forecasting for Harrier planes at an operational RAF base, forecasting for gas and electricity companies, football teams, horse/pigeon racing competitions and gritter lorries on icy nights.
Anyway, in September 2001, I got the job that I'd always wanted - doing the weather for the telly on South East Today - and I love it.
My job here is primarily weather, but I've been very lucky at being able to do lifestyle, tourism and environmental stories as well and I soon wanted to expand into more of a presenting role.
Then came Inside Out.
Inside Out is a dream come true for me because it means I can spend part of the week when I'm not doing the weather for South East Today filming stories that are important to our region.
The people I'm meeting are wonderful, the stories are really interesting and it's so surprising to find that so many weird and wacky things are going on right on our doorsteps.
And that's the programme's aim - to make these come to life in your living room.
On a more personal level my hobbies involve cycling, hiking, exploring, science, wildlife, overseas travel and I'm also constantly trying to stay fit!
I've got a yearning to improve my snowboarding skills, take up drum lessons and see the aurora borealis.
I've also done a number of challenges for charities - some successful, some painful (don't mention Ecuador!) and tend to find the word 'No' is just something that involves being in an oyster bar.
I've cycled over 500km across the Andes, climbed a total of 28,000ft on my bike across Mexico from the Atlantic to Pacific coast (both for Macmillan Cancer Relief).
I've cycled to all 10 stadia for Euro 2004 across Portugal (covering a distance of 800km for Cystic Fibrosis) and burnt my toes walking across fire for a local hospice. I have even done a 13,000ft freefall parachute jump (NB. NOT tandem!) just to prove that my vertigo wasn't going to beat me! -
