Sue Jameson has been one of GMTV's correspondents since joining in January 1993
Born in Sydney Australia, she attended Surbiton High School before reading History and Politics at Liverpool University.
After graduating, she joined BBC Radio Merseyside as the presenter of their student programme 'Precinct', later moving to Radio City in Liverpool as a news trainee.
Eighteen months later she joined LBC Radio as presenter of the three-hour drivetime programme 'LBC Reports'. She was then offered the station's afternoon slot, and became the first ever radio theatre critic to present overnight reviews. These were also published in the theatre compilation 'London Theatre Record'.
In 1988 the then Arts Minister, Richard Luce, invited Sue to the USSR to shadow him during a fact-finding mission: she was the only journalist to be invited. She recorded the experience on tape, and on her return made a one-hour radio documentary which would subsequently win her the 'Radio Journalist of the Year' award. As part of the prize, Sue was given the opportunity to return to Russia for a year as Moscow Correspondent for LBC and IRN.
In March 1989 she left the UK for Russia, for what should have been a year-long placement. In fact Sue stayed for seven years, during which time she covered major news stories from the election of Boris Yeltsin to the First Congress of People's Deputies, through to his re-election as president in 1996. As well as her radio reports, Sue also reported for the London Evening Standard.
Sue joined the GMTV news team in January 1993 as Moscow Correspondent, and in 1996 returned to the UK as Political Correspondent. She now reports on a wide range of national and international news stories, and last year sent back a series of special reports from Kosovo.
Sue lives in Surrey with her teenage son Oliver, and in her spare time enjoys decorating, cooking, swimming and yoga. She loves drama, and has written several chapters on the subject for various Cambridge University Press publications.
