Dominic Heale

Biography

Dominic has been a familiar face on the region's TV screens since 1993 - as a presenter for ITV and then as co-presenter of East Midlands Today.

A graduate of the University of Hull, where he helped edit Hullfire, the student newspaper, his first 'real' job was with Plymouth Sound Radio - as a trainee. It was the first of many lucky breaks. The newsroom staff there had been asked to vote on whether they wanted a pay rise or a trainee to work alongside them. They opted for the latter on the very day Dominic's letter asking for a job arrived in the post.

After five happy years in radio he moved to ITV in 1989 as a sub-editor for Television South West, graduating to on-air presenting within two years. In 1993 Dominic hit the road, freelancing - and eventually ended up in the East Midlands where he has been delighted to work ever since.

Dominic's interests include gardening, walking and music. He's married with three children and lives a stone's throw from the River Trent in South Nottingham.
