Meet the schoolboy news anchor who became hooked on current affairs at 11

Meet the schoolboy news anchor who has produced his own bedroom show for two years - and will be heading into London to report on the coronation. Hugh Murphy became hooked on watching and reading the news during the pandemic, aged just 11.

Since then he has religiously watched Good Morning Britain, Sky News and ITV News bulletins and idolises iconic news anchor Kate Garraway. Alongside juggling his Year Eight schoolwork, Hugh, 13, spends all his free time producing daily news bulletins from his own bedroom.

He single-handedly writes, films and edits everything himself from his bedroom - filming in front of a Westminster skyline backdrop. He also gets out and about to file reports on the likes of shootings and protests near his home, with the help of mum Nicola Murphy, 60.
