Overview
- During the Six O'Clock News on January 28, a slit in Rizzini’s denim dress briefly revealed a black band that some viewers took to be the lace tops of stockings.
- Clips shared on social media prompted praise and jokes, while others suggested the band could have been cycling shorts, thermals or a microphone strap.
- Rizzini has presented at the BBC for about 14 years and is Met Office trained, with a background in early-morning radio and television forecasting.
- She recently won Celebrity Mastermind with Celine Dion as her specialist subject and donated her winnings to Hospice in the Weald.
- The chatter arrived as veteran BBC weather presenter Carol Kirkwood confirmed she will step back at the end of April, with the BBC issuing a tribute and no successor named.
