Anne Margaret Diamond (born 8 September 1954) is a British journalist and broadcast. She hosted Good Morning Britain for TV-am and the similarly titled Good Morning... with Anne and Nick for BBC One, both with Nick Owen as her co-presenter. She is currently a regular panelist on Loose Women, presents a phone-in show on BBC Radio Berkshire, makes regular appearances on The Wright Stuff on Channel 5 and BBC London, and is a regular columnist for the Daily Mail.
In 1991, she successfully campaigned for research into cot death following the death of her third son, Sebastian. The campaign, which she co-founded, was reported to have cut the incidence of cot death in the UK from 2,000 a year to nearer 300.
Diamond's parents were of Irish ancestry, although her father was brought up in Scotland. She was born and brought up in Malvern, Worcestershire, and she attended Worcester Grammar School for Girls.
Diamond worked at a Butlins holiday camp as a redcoat and chalet-maid. She then began her career as a journalist on the Bridgwater Mercury and Bournemouth Evening Echo.
Diamond began her television career with BBC West in Bristol, before moving over to ATV Today as a reporter and newsreader in 1979. When ATV became Central Television in 1982, she was paired up with Nick Owen, to present the new East Midlands edition of Central News.
