Joanne Kavanagh
An experienced print and broadcast journalist with over 20 years experience. I have worked as a showbiz and SEO reporter for The Sun since 2016. Over the years I have worked extensively on big primetime TV shows like I'm A Celebrity, Love Island, BGT, and Strictly Come Dancing, covering all the action as it happens with breaking news stories, blog updates, and interviews. I have also brought in many exclusive for The Sun which include stories on Katie Price, Paddy McGuinness, and Paloma Faith, amongst others. Before joining News UK, I worked for other big outlets including ITV, Channel 4, and Magic Radio. I started my career in journalism fresh out of university, and worked as a newsreader for my local radio station KMFM before breaking into national news at ITV's former flagship breakfast show, GMTV. There I worked alongside big presenters like Ben Shephard, Kate Garraway, and Fiona Phillips.
