TV presenter June Sarpong is joining the BBC’s ‘Newsnight’.

The former T4 presenter will appear in various special features.

She told the Daily Telegraph:

“I’m going to be doing some stuff for Newsnight. I’m not replacing Jeremy Paxman before the rumours start. I’m doing specials for them.”

The 36-year-old has moved back to the UK for the new role, after relocating to the US. She explained: “I got back to London six weeks ago. 

“I’ve gone from Sunday morning television to Newsnight, but you know we’ve all got to grow up. It’s all highbrow now.”

The last time June appeared on British television it was when she hosted the live Michael Jackson seance show on Sky 1 four years ago.

It will be good to see her back on our screens again.  

Congratulations June.
