In the latest ep of Fifi’s In-Box, Leon deep dives into Fifi’s DMs and asked a Sunrise specific question sent in from Sarah.
“I used to watch you do the weather on Sunrise back in the day, are you a qualified meteorologist?”
“I don’t have a meteorology background, every time I did a weather cross I had to quickly research what was going on”. Fifi answered.
Speaking on the reality of working in breakfast TV as both a weather reporter and roving journalist.
“One of the worst parts of that job is that I had to be on call 24/7”. Fifi said.
On her experiences as a weather reporter, Fifi revealed she was often told to make the reports more dramatic than they really were.
“We would go to the location where there was meant to be a storm and I would cross back and I’d go, there is actually nothing happening”.
“I remember the camera man and I found a tree that had fallen over a ditch and the producers told me to stand it front of it, in order to make the storm look more dramatic then it was”. Fifi continued.
