Samantha got her first break in presenting when the overnight presenter went sick and she was asked to step in at the last minute, and she has never looked back.
She’s had some great opportunities at Sky -not least presenting outside Buckingham Palace for the Royal wedding and at the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics. Samantha Simmonds has a middle eastern background and has a passion for cooking sumptuous Persian food . She has 3 young children who keep her on her toes and usually run rings around her! When she gets the chance she loves to indulge the adrenalin junkie in her parachuting, para-sailing, hang gliding, scuba diving, bungee jumping and rally driving next on the list a sky dive!

Horny Scot is right about nylon legs. Nylons are always sexy, especially stockings and suspenders, although tights are good too. Of course, we never see which the presenters are wearing. I guess that leaves it open to our imaginations.

Samantha is gorgeous and quite busty. I should point out that she is back on the BBC News Channel nowadays. I was watching her last night, and the sideways views when she was doing the papers really showed how big she is on top!
