She's also one of the most familiar faces in regional television, having worked as a main anchor woman for ITV Central in the West and East Midlands for two decades.

Llewela's career began in the early eighties when, after completing her journalist training at The London Broadcasting School, she worked for BBC local radio in Northampton and Nottingham, as a reporter and latterly news producer.

In 1988, she entered the TV world as a sub-editor for ITV Central, becoming late news presenter in Birmingham a year later. By the mid-nineties she'd joined the main presentation team, and could be seen nightly on the station's flagship programme 'Central Tonight' alongside veteran presenter Bob Warman.

As an experienced interviewer, Llewela has, over the years talked to a variety of subjects - from celebrities and politicians to the man in the street. Her reputation in the business is that she's totally unflappable! Although she does admit to being flustered when Donny Osmond grabbed her in a passionate clinch during a lunchtime bulletin.

Llewela hung up her ear piece with ITV at the beginning of this year, after a couple of years spent as its pan-regional (east and west) presenter.  She also fronted Central's political programme 'The Lobby' and 'Central Extra'.  Llewela has now set up her own business, producing and presenting corporate videos, compering and media training. 

As well as forging a successful career in broadcasting over the years, Llewela has managed to bring up a large family, and now lives in the centre of Birmingham, where her children flit in and out of the nest!
