She
takes up her seat on the sofa with Dermot Murnaghan on Monday (18
November 2002).
Breakfast
runs from 6.00 to 9.00am each day on BBC ONE and BBC News 24, and
has more than seven million viewers each week.
Until
recently, Natasha was a presenter on Sky News, having joined the
channel in 2000.

live Sunday morning current affairs programme Seven Days.
She

the BBC ONE Six O' Clock News early in the New Year.
On
joining Breakfast, Natasha said: "Breakfast is a dream job.
I'm really looking forward to working with Dermot and the morning
team. I can hardly wait for the 3am alarm call!"
 Richard
Porter, Editor of Breakfast, said: "It's not very often that
you get the chance to bring together a new presentation partnership,
and in Natasha and Dermot we have one of the best in the business.
"It
will be exciting to watch them working together, to build up a relationship
with Breakfast's viewers and become a part of everyone's morning
routine."
