BBC Channel Islands News

Latest weather forecast - Monday to Friday only

Clare Burton

Clare presents BBC Channel Islands news at 6.30pm and 10.25pm. Before moving to the Channel Islands she was a showbiz reporter for ITN. She was lucky enough to interview a host of celebrities - from global superstars such as the Rolling Stones and 'Brangelina', to the reality TV rejects of the day.

A spell at ITV Tyne Tees saw Clare reporting on football (of course, it is Newcastle), floods, farming, job losses, the arts, politics - a bit of everything! And all directly related to the people who lived there. A love affair with local news began.

A move to the Channel Islands meant a whole new set of people, politics and issues to get stuck into. Clare's been overwhelmed by the friendliness of Channel Islanders, and the strength of their interest and involvement in the running of their island. Home is now a little corner of seaside heaven in St Brelades Bay, but the promise to learn how to surf has not yet been fulfilled. Give her time.
