Watchdog has announced its brand new presenting team after Anne Robinson announced her departure earlier this month.
Sophie Raworth and Michelle Ackerley will join Matt Allwright and Chris Hollins for the new run of the consumer show, which kicks off on Thursday, October 8 at 8pm on BBC One.
"Watchdog is the reason I got into television," said Raworth. "After doing two weeks work experience on the programme when I was 16, I was determined to become a journalist.
"I've presented Watchdog Daily and Test House for the past three years. I'm delighted to have been asked to join Matt, Chris and Michelle for the new series. It feels like I've come full circle."
Ackerley added: "I'm passionate about uncovering and investigating new stories and excited to work with Matt, Chris and Sophie. I'm genuinely excited to be part of such a fantastic team."
