New favourite for Francesca!

IT’S a hectic time of year for everyone, but I suspect Francesca Cumani has been busier than most.

The 40-year-old horse racing presenter, who was heavily pregnant, found herself snowed in at her Lake District home and then, when she managed to get out, suffered a blown tyre and had to be rescued in a tow truck. Thankfully, the saga ended with some happy news as Francesca, left, and her triathlete partner Max Johnson, welcomed their second child and Francesca’s third. Celebrating the happy news, Francesca says: ‘At 09.45 Monday morning we became a family of five.’

Ample hands for future snow shovelling!
