Channel 4 News has landed a major coup in booking Prince Andrew interviewer Emily Maitlis to head up its general election coverage.
Maitlis, who was portrayed by Gillian Anderson in Netflix movie Scoop about the notorious interview, will present alongside regular helmer Krishnan Guru-Murthy.
Channel 4 News has focused on Britain’s biggest podcasts by booking Maitlis, who co-hosts smash hit The News Agents, along with landing Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart, who present the popular Rest is Politics pod, as contributors.
The pair will bring “inimitable analysis,” according to Channel 4. The “eclectic line-up” will also feature some of the cast of Gogglebox, the network’s second most popular show. Cathy Newman will present from campaign HQs for the ruling Conservative and opposition Labour parties. Sports presenter CLare Balding will front the data coverage.
“Delighted to be involved with this election night and it’s brilliant cast of people,” said Maitlis.

News that doctors were “concerned” about Queen Elizabeth II’s health on Thursday lunchtime threw long-planned U.K. broadcast schedules into disarray almost immediately – and the disruptions will likely continue for weeks.
The statement from Buckingham Palace, issued at 12.30pm local time, was unprecedented and experienced broadcasters immediately realized the situation was serious. U.K. Parliament had been informed about 10 minutes earlier, with Prime Minister Liz Truss and leader of the opposition Keir Starmer discreetly passed notes detailing the situation in the House of Commons.
BBC One was the first network to break programming some 10 minutes after the statement was published. An episode of “Bargain Hunt” – a long-running series which sees two teams competing to cheaply source antiques and flip them for a profit – was interrupted by BBC newsreader Joanna Gosling, who said: “Welcome to viewers on BBC One. We have had news from Buckingham Palace that the Queen is under medical supervision at Balmoral.
