After 6th form Anthony headed to Lancaster uni. Three years and a degree later he put off working for a bit longer to study journalism. After working as a radio reporter in Cumbria and working behind the camera filming, editing and directing, he arrived at BBC Switch.

My life as a newspaper headline: Excitable northerner gets lost in the big city.

What makes me smile: Charlotte, she might be a bit posh, but she knows some filthy jokes.

I would rather...Lose a million pounds than lose my freedom.

Worst habit: I have a few, including picking out that blue fluff you find in your belly button, but the worst is probably not texting people back – I get sidetracked. I also eat things that I drop on the floor. Not good.

The first thing I do In the morning: Wash myself while trying to work out what day it is, and where I need to be next. Multitasking at its best.

The thing that annoys me more than life itself: People who walk slowly. On the tube, in shops, on the street. It pains me.

Funny is... Will Ferrell and his gang (Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and the Wilson brothers) they always make me laugh – Blades of Glory, Anchorman, Old School – enough said.

The best thing in the world: My mum's Christmas dinner – it's an incredible military operation that tastes amazing.

Favourite item of clothing: High top white converse trainers. They rate higher than my mum's Christmas dinner.

Embarrassing story I can bear to admit to: The big part of this is "bear to admit to". I reckon walking around a mixed hospital ward with no pants on after having a tooth out was pretty embarrassing. They gave me some pretty strong pain killers. I had the pants in my hand and was only wearing a t-shirt.

I wish I could... Grow money

Bath/shower: Shower everytime. Wash and go.

Ketchup/brown sauce: Brown sauce, it goes with everything, including broccoli and sprouts.

Bus/tube: I'm going to say bus, mainly because of the slow people on the tube. I like to see where I'm going when I'm on the move.

Horror/comedy: Comedy, but it has to be funny, and there are some seriously unfunny comedies out there.

After studying German at uni Charlotte worked as a journalist for The Guardian but eventually got fed up writing articles at home like a loner. She then put her language skills to good use presenting at trade shows around Europe. She spent a year and half working as a BBC news radio producer. Revealed is her first TV presenting job.

My life as a newspaper headline: Woman sets new shoe record.

What makes me smile: Bank holidays.

Worst habit: Taking ages to get ready in the morning.

Strange love: Germany…food included.

The first thing I do In the morning: Wish I'd gone to bed earlier the night before.

The thing that annoys me more than life itself: Accidentally deleting a text you've nearly finished writing…AAAAGH.

Favourite item of clothing: My wide-leg jeans…but it'll be something different next week!

Embarrassing story I can bear to admit to: Getting my head stuck in a tube ticket barrier…don't ask, but it made me cry and my ear's never been the same since.

I wish I could: Play the piano.

Bath/shower: Bath…the hotter and bubblier the better.

Ketchup/brown sauce: Ketchup. Preferably with mayonnaise.

Bus/tube: Tube. It's horrible but it's fast. Usually.

Horror/comedy: Comedy every time. Especially live.
