Following her ordeal with the Olympic torch it's good to see that Konnie Huq has been signed up to present a television series all about zoo animals.Zoo Days will follow Colchester Zoo as it opens it's doors to the public.
Zoo Days will be on Channel 5 and the 20 episodes will be shown later this year.
And ...
... just in case you missed what Konnie Huq said about carrying the Olympic Torch:
"As I was running with the torch a guy broke out from the crowd and wrestled the torch, or tried to wrestle the torch off me.
I was determined to hang on, it was all a bit of a shock, for a while I was wrestling with it, then they wrestled him to the ground. There were so many people and everyone was shouting 'just keep going'. It was a bit surreal.
I was a bit bashed about but I guess that's par for the course in such a little brawl.
I always said my taking part in the procession didn't mean I condone China in any way. And I think a lot of the torch bearers and the athletes feel the same way.
I did the procession because I believe in the Olympic values, the ideals, I think sport on a global scale is a brilliant thing, it transcends culture, race, money.
The Olympic ethos is a great thing, it's just a shame China has such a terrible track record when it comes to human rights.
I understand the cause completely, but this is the platform on which change can occur, all eyes will be on the Olympics, media from all across the world so if any good can come out of it, that's a really great thing"
