Who is India Willoughby?

The trailblazing journalist previously made history by becoming Britain’s first transgender newscaster.

The 51-year-old was born Jonathan Willoughby and started her TV career at ITV Border, presenting the news for the North East and Cumbria.

She quit her regional job in Carlisle after a decade seven years ago before returning to the small screen in 2015 after transitioning and changing her name to India.
