Summary

Krishnan Guru-Murthy has been presenting the news on Channel 4 since 1998, but his career began long before that, when he was only a teenager. In fact, Gyles is a bit jealous when he finds out that Krishnan was even younger than him when he first appeared on TV! In this interview, Gyles also learns about the fascinating story of Krishnan's parents, how they met, and his father's inspirational journey from extreme poverty to NHS consultant. Krishnan talks about growing up in Lancashire in the 80s, his success at school and the racism in the playground, and then tells Gyles how he started to work as a journalist when he was only 18. He talks about his life now and his Strictly experience. This is a wide-ranging and stimulating conversation with someone who has been at the heart of British current affairs for a generation - thank you Krishnan for coming on Rosebud!
