I like Luxmy Gopal…it is a shame to see her leave BBC Look North. She is good at her job, reads the news well and it is nice to see her on BBC Breakfast as she brightens my day. Keep up the good work Luxmy and have a merry Christmas and a happy 2022. Hope to see you on Look North and BBC Breakfast more in 2022.
I first saw lucky on look north tv and was impressed straight away.
She is always well presented and has a very clear voice
I have seen her recently on BBC news and am not at all surprised.
I saw her this week on the 6. pm news and she looks better than ever.
I had a quick look on the net and it said she is the senior newsreader for the BBC.
I feel sure that there are many impressed as I am as she is like a breath of fresh air.
Good luck Luxmy.
Take care.
Lovely lady and a good presenter. In fact, she is very beautiful indeed. I wish I was younger to date her. Love to see her on the BBC News Channel and Look North
Wish her all the best and keep her safe.
I would never want Luxmy to stifle her career because her respectful, intelligent, clear spoken happy manner should be shared by as many people as possible. Saying that I and many many others would miss her terribly if she were to move away fully from BBC Look North. We would miss her warmth and beautiful smile.
