Sophie Raworth is to join Watchdog as a presenter, years after completing work experience on the programme.

30 years ago Sophie Raworth completed a work experience stint at Watchdog; now she has been announced as a new presenter of the programme.

Raworth will join Matt Allwright and Chris Hollins for the new series of the popular BBC programme.

Michelle Ackerley will complete the team of presenters, after Anne Robinson left Watchdog following a 15 year career with the popular programme.

"Watchdog is the reason I got into television. After doing two weeks' work experience on the programme when I was 16, I was determined to become a journalist. I've presented Watchdog Daily and Test House for the past three years. I'm delighted to have been asked to join Matt, Chris and Michelle for the new series. It feels like I've come full circle." said Raworth.

Chris Hollins said "I'm really pleased Michelle and Sophie are joining the team. I'm sure they'll find it as rewarding as we do standing up for our viewers by protecting their rights."
