I don't often watch news nowadays as I mostly use online sources, but I'm always amazed to see Lucy Meacock still on Granada, and looking no different to how I remember her as a child.
Does anyone know how old she is now, and whether she is still married? I remember there being a fuss about her wedding on the programme years ago.
Also, I think I saw her doing some ITN weekend news a few years ago - did this ever come to anything or is she staying dedicated to Granada?
(I realise this makes me sound like a stalker, but I'm not, honest!) I'm a happily married woman. But nosy.

I've not seen Lucy presenting any weekend ITN bullitens for a while which is a shame.
Lucy will be 52 this year.
When she started she had a mad perm which I thought was so funky as a kid, but since she tamed that down she hasn't changed at all.
52! Blimey.
I also remember the Granada Up-Front programme on Friday nights she co-presented with Tony Wilson in the early 90s.
- this is a joke, if you think about it
This was the first place I saw Steve Coogan, Brenda Gilhooly (now writing for Harry Hill but then Page 3 stunna Gail Tuesday), Caroline Ahern (as a nun) and John Thompson (may have been where he performed as Bernard Right-on).
And it's Anthony H to you!
When the late Anthony H Wilson was a tv presenter many years ago he was known as Tony Wilson
I think 'joke' is pushing it.
I remember visiting the Granada Studios Tour years ago and I volunteered to do a pretend Granada Reports in a studio with a camera.I was Lucy reading the news with a fake Tony Wilson next to me.
choco x:D
I don't get it either?
Is there a prize?
I hadn't watched Granad Reports for about 10 years and when I caught it the other week I was amazed how good she looked. Ding Dong!
PS.on this website home page http://www.lucymeacock.co.uk/
she looks remarkably like Elaine Page.
I'm a little alarmed at how long it took for someone to spot the obvious. Or, perhaps, we two are the only ones with a childish enough sense of humour?
At 52, she must be a similar age to our very own Pam Royle who reached 21 years on Tyne Tees news in December last year.
It does seem however that the years have been kinder to Ms Meacock than Ms Royle!

The correct joke first name for that surname is clearly 'Juliet'
Lucy herself has said she doesn't want to move to London. She was relief ITN presenter between 2007-2009 which was partly down to Granada Reports being the first regional program to be awarded a BAFTA in 2007. She no longer does that role and Andrea Benfield has taken that place.
i always remember she had a corgi called Ted (i think) and one time he was in the studio dressed up in a flat cap & coat.
dont think she's ever had kids - that's the secret to looking younger
Anyone else find that website hard to navigate?
It's not great. Okay, but not great.
I'd have said mid-40s. Couldn't believe she was 52!
She's a hit with my Mum & Dad too. Dad reckons she dresses a lot better than when she first appeared on our TV screens.
