Newsnight presenter Kirsty has new career on menu

SHE has made her name grilling politicians and turning up the heat on difficult interview subjects as they stew under the glare of the Newsnight cameras.

Now Scottish television presenter Kirsty Wark has revealed she may one day swap her microphone for a mortar and pestle and become a chef when she finally retires from broadcasting.

The 56-year-old proved she knew her way around the kitchen when she came second in last year's series of Celebrity Masterchef.
