Helen Fospero (née Morton) (born 30 August 1966) is an English television presenter and journalist, best known for her presenting roles on shows such as GMTV, Daybreak and Lorraine.
She is currently working as a reporter for Watchdog and The One Show for the BBC.
Born Helen Jane Morton in Cleethorpes, Lincolnshire, she grew up in nearby Grimsby, and attended Whitgift School, Crosland Road, Grimsby. She left school just before her 18th birthday and started her career at the local weekly newspaper. A short time later she joined a national news agency, writing for tabloids and broadsheets in Fleet Street.
Fospero's television career began when she was one of the first journalists to be recruited by Sky Television at the end of the 1980s. She was a home news editor when the channel launched in 1989, and took on many roles in her nine years there, including reporter and presenter on Sunrise and Live at Five. In 1997, she was poached by Breakfast television station GMTV, where she met John Stapleton, who acts as a mentor to her. Fospero was initially the Showbiz correspondent, then later became the United States correspondent, based in New York City.
In November 2002 when the BBC launched the new Yorkshire & Lincolnshire area, Fospero was appointed by Greg Dyke to front the new version of regional news magazine programme Look North along with Peter Levy.
