Emmanuelle Lhoni, the beloved BBC News weather presenter, has announced that she will be moving on to a new role. At just 28 years old, Emmanuelle made history as the youngest black female weather presenter at the BBC when she joined North West Tonight. She was also the first Congolese weather presenter for the broadcaster. Her journey at the BBC began in 2014 when she started as a work experience student on Rip Off Britain and later shadowed on Newsround. From there, she worked her way up through BBC World Service, BBC Africa, and eventually joined the BBC North West team.
In May 2019, Emmanuelle landed her "dream role" as a weather presenter for BBC North West Tonight. However, after an incredible 5 years, she has decided to say goodbye to the show. She took to social media to share the news with her fans, expressing her gratitude for the opportunity to work with and learn from journalists and presenters she has admired for years. She also thanked the viewers for welcoming her into their homes and promised to keep everyone updated on her next adventure.
In her Instagram stories, Emmanuelle revealed that she had been wanting to share this news since June. Fans flooded the comments section with messages expressing how much she will be missed. @woth58 wrote, "You will be missed. All the very best for your future. Hopefully, I'll still get to see your fabulous fashion pieces on here." @tonimilw added, "Oh, I'm sorry to see you go. Thanks for bringing us your lovely smile and beautiful clothes to our screens. The very best of luck with whatever is next for you." @wodd365 also sent her well wishes, "Good luck in your new venture whatever it is. You will smash it. You were always meant for success and greatness."
Emmanuelle regularly shares updates on her professional life on Instagram, giving her followers a glimpse into her work as a presenter. At the start of 2020, she reflected on her career highlights from the previous year, including being the lead on some stories, speaking on a journalism panel at her former university, and reaching over 75 million listeners during her night shifts. She expressed her gratitude to everyone who has helped her along the way and looked forward to what 2020 had in store for her.
Just a few months later, Emmanuelle made her debut as the presenter for the lunchtime weather on BBC North West Tonight. She proudly shared that she was "the first Congolese person ever" and "the youngest black person ever to present the weather at the BBC." As she embarks on her new journey, her fans eagerly await to see what she will accomplish next.
