Nicola Sturgeon to join pundits on broadcaster's General Election coverage

NICOLA Sturgeon will feature in ITV’s election night coverage alongside former chancellor George Osborne, the broadcaster has announced.

The former first minister will also be joined by ex-shadow chancellor Ed Balls, who is now an ITV presenter as well as hosting a podcast with his former Tory opposite number.

Balls will present Good Morning Britain alongside Susanna Reid. The programme will feature contributions from pundits Andrew Pierce and Kevin Maguire, Boris Johnson's former spin doctor Guto Harri, Labour veteran Harriet Harman, former chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng, newly ennobled Labour peer Ayesha Hazarika and Gordon Brown.

Michael Jermey, ITV’s Director of News and Current Affairs, said; “ITV will be on air from just before the polls close right through until the full results are known. Tom Bradby and his guests will share great analysis and insider knowledge with our viewers through the night.

“With cameras and reporters right around the country we’ll follow the political story wherever it goes.”
