The idea was if they're going to bring news of bad weather they'd either have a serious, professional male to get the point across or a pretty little woman so that the news doesn't seem so bad.

I don't think Sandi Toksvig counts as a celebrity who desires free publicity. She said she heard of the suspicions and allegations, a far cry from
knowing it was going on.
