I am the one who paid.
It was my e-mail address used.
I am the lead passenger.
I contacted customer services.
But to whom is the refund addressed?
That's right: My husband.

Absolutely devastating news. Emily was a brilliant journalist and an inspiration, as well as kind and generous with her time. She will be greatly missed.x
We are devastated at the passing of our remarkable colleague Emily Morgan.
Emily was a hugely talented journalist and a much-loved friend and mentor to so many here. She will be greatly missed.
Our thoughts are with Emily’s family.

EXPOSED: Soaring levels of damaging phosphates in our rivers are revealed in a special

One river in the Midlands was almost 50 times the safe limit.
And we hear evidence of the deadly affect it's having on wildlife.

I'm not sure I've ever shed a tear over the death of a celebrity before.
Matthew Perry was such a talent - Chandler was a best friend to an entire generation.
Such incredibly sad news.
RIP.
When I first joined
@ITVCentral
, the first thing everyone said was "ooh have you met Bob??"
To call him a local legend is to undersell quite how much he's loved by people in the Midlands.
Presenting the programme alongside him has been an absolute honour and a career highlight
I got my jab today, as part of the human trials looking for a vaccine for Covid-19.
I've blogged about the experience for

I'm keeping a video diary too... First entry below!
Every other railway station: The 13:22 train will depart from Platform 2
London Euston: NO NO NO. We announce the platform EXACTLY four minutes before departure and watch as the panicked masses battle to all get through the ticket barriers at the same time. It's the only way
In part three, we took a closer look at sewage outflows into streams and rivers... and found raw, untreated sewage is being released into our waterways on an "industrial" scale.
Some CSOs were pumping sewage into the Wye catchment for months at a time.
Me next time someone heckles me during a live 😂💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
