Former Blue Peter presenter, Gethin Jones, has joined Daybreak as a features reporter.
Jones began his new role at Daybreak on Monday and is presenting a week long special for Children’s Hospice Week.

David Kermode, the editor of Daybreak, said: “We’re so excited to have Gethin on board. He has bags of enthusiasm, he’s brilliant at putting those he meets at ease and he has loads of experience of live TV. He’s going to be a big star in our new line up.”
