    Reporting Around the World with ITV Wales’ Sion Jenkins
    Apr 29 2024
    From a love of Jungle Run to having every episode of Stars In Their Eyes on VHS, Sion Jenkins’ career has been inspired by his childhood love of TV.

    Sion is an on-screen journalist and presenter for ITV Wales, where he’s built a reputation for ‘and finally’s. He presents the current affairs series, Y Byd ar Bedwar (The World on 4), which ITV produces for S4C.

    His reporting career has taken him to Las Vegas, Istanbul, and Rwanda. It’s also allowed him to open up about his battle with anxiety and create a programme to help others too.

    Sion tells Becky how his next TV fix is based on recommendations, although he will always make a beeline for Long Lost Family and anything that Gino, Gordon and Fred do.
