Fresh from his recent stint on I m A Celebrity, presenter Vernon Kay talks about his new ITV series Game of Talents and why he really, really hates autocue.
TV presenters make their job look easy. They exude confidence, seem effortlessly in control of their show and rarely stumble over their words.
It helps, of course, that those words are normally being projected on a transparent screen under the camera lens - known as the autocue. It reflects the host s script, kind of like a window, and allows them to read their links while still looking directly into the camera. It s invisible to the viewer at home, and saves the presenter from having to memorise lines or improvise.
