One little girl had a slightly more exciting day than most four-and-a-half-year-olds when she had a go at doing a weather forecast for Channel 5.
Olive Holloway’s father Adrian is a studio director at the Met Office and, predictably, she loves the weather.
So, when she saw the green screen studio while visiting her father’s work on Tuesday, she decided to go in front of the camera.

“So, it’s going to be raining all day,” she says, while not looking best pleased about it.
“And it’s going to stay around this side, and that side. So there, and there. It’s going to be wet.”
She then adds: “I think it’s going to be just windy all day.”
But she also tells viewers it’s going to be “a bit sunny at the top”, complete with some animated hand movements (and a few prompts from dad in the background). And at the end, her mother and baby brother Sid get a special shout out.

Channel 5 weather presenter Clare Nasir said Olive was 100% confident with her performance.
“She’s a natural” she said. “She enunciates really well, and there was no beating about the bush.
“My job’s in jeopardy.”

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
