Ms. Leonard,
From the first time I saw you on television and heard you speak I said to myself ‘this girl is from Africa’. Very astute of me…don’t you think when I read your profile I smiled and an old saying came to mind – ‘You can take the boy/girl out of Africa but you cannot take Africa out of the boy/girl!
I too am a product of paradise (but mine now no more). I left Scotland as a 10-year-old and ended up in Rhodesia until the ‘bitter end’. Sorry to have bored you with this but some inner voice told me to do it. Apologies nevertheless and good luck to you in your career.
I love Kimberley Leonard. I know that she loves me!
10pm in Oregon USA is the 6am Breakfast programme in England. There is a great cadre of presenters but one of the standouts is Kimberly
Leonard. She is always bright, polite and when involved in an interview a tenacious yet correct type of interviewer with exceptional knowledge of the subject matter.
She is so natural and beautiful, very easy to watch. One of the best on TV!
Hi Shay,
I’m not a normally a follower of anyone. If I catch the news I will just listen for a few moments, however, if I see this lady presenting the news, I will watch until the end. She, to my mind, is STUNNING in every way.
Regards and love to all.
Michael
In a word, “perfect”. An absolutely outstanding TV news presenter and journalist…ever so slightly understated and has the most perfect style and balance in all aspects of her work…all delivered with total sincerity. Beautiful person.
Would love to see more of Kim on Skye.
The very best of all newsreaders, in all channels, by a country mile.
Clear, concise, great vocals, on top of her subject. Oh, wish that there were more like her.
Hello,
I was born in Kenya, Nairobi myself. In 1966 and moved to London in 1968…this lady is beautiful and I would love to meet her…I am also into aviation as this ladies Father presumes to be a pilot.
We have something in common…that’s why I chuck baggage on aircraft at Heathrow
Kimberley Leonard is perfect in every way. She smiles more than when first on SkyNews but is still enigmatic. Reminds me of the Mona Lisa but Kimberley is far more beautiful. I hope she doesn’t work too hard and stays around for ages. I wouldn’t blame her going back to Kenya, a wonderful country.
Kimberley is my favourite Sky News presenter by far! I always suspected an international connection in her life, because she pronounces African names and words very clearly and correctly! Now I know I was right! Proud to be your fellow Kenyan, Kimberley, even as your elder! Keep up the good work. God bless you and your work. We need more journalists of your calibre, intelligence, courtesy and beauty!
Kimberly is a very beautiful lady. She have a lovely clear voice and her dress sense is outstanding
Kimberly Leonard is a respectable newscaster. Her choices of clothes to wear on TV are elegant, yet simple. Unlike some other female newscasters, she doesn’t show her cleavage, and accordingly, does not distract the viewer! Her makeup is subtle and appropriate for a news program, and despite working in the wee hours often, she always manages to smile a little when introducing a segment or when signing off.
Attractive, beautiful, well-spoken and definitely gifted with a lovely smile that can penetrate any mind.
my favourite Sky personality and News reader. She has the most gorgeous voice and word delivery. Lovely lady x
Another great reporter indeed.
I’m proud of Kimberley’s progress into mainstream media and wish her every success in the future. Good luck and hope to meet her some day.
