Jesse Blythe Although the most junior member of the team Jesse certainly makes her presence known - all 8˝ stone of her!!

She loves coming to work and greets clients eagerly and often wants to share her favourite fluffy toy or half eaten chewy bone with them. She often goes missing at lunchtime and she can be found in the staff room with Anneka trying to share her lunch and lasagne is one of her favourites.

She has a growing fan club and wooed Dianne Oxberry of BBC North West tonight. Dianne loved a photo of Jesse playing in the snow and used it during her evening weather slot in January 2010. Jesse received mail afterwards and was also discussed on Manx Radio..... quite a celebrity!

The photo that was used by the BBC can be found in our news section.
