Channel 5 weather star Sian Welby details 'cryptic' start to job at broadcaster

She explained how in order to attend a life-changing meeting with Channel 5, she had to miss one of her shifts and risk getting fired.

Sian described the serendipitous process as a “chain of events”.

She said: “New! Magazine was part of the Express Group owned by a man called Richard Desmond, who had just bought Channel 5, and so in his offices, where the newspapers are printed in OK magazine and all of that.

“This New! Magazine advert was playing on a loop. Little did I know that every single day the bosses would see in my face on this screen.
