He joined TV-am's sports department in 1983, but was soon promoted to the main presenter of Good Morning Britain when the 'famous five' presenter-owners of the station were culled, or jumped ship, in a bitter boardroom battle early in the station's tumultuous history. Nick was soon joined on the couch by former midlands colleague Anne Diamond, and together the two gelled, helping to transform the fortunes of the troubled breakfast contractor. The pair later went on to their own daytime BBC show, Good Morning With Anne and Nick but the programme was axed after a couple of seasons because it failed to dent the ratings of ITV's This Morning. After a short spell fronting LWT's 6 O' Clock Live, Nick is now back in the midlands, anchoring the Birmingham edition of Midlands Today.
