Don’t worry its not bad news it’s actually FANTASTIC news! This Sunday we will see the welcome return of Mr Jonny Gould to Sky Poker channel 865.

Jonny Gould is most widely known as Channel 5's longest serving TV presenter. He was the main presenter on Major League Baseball having hosted the live show for a massive eleven years.

Jonny is also prolific in the charity and events industry for being a dynamic show host and has raised over £10million for charity in his auctioneering career to date and this figure continues to rise. His charity clients range from Chelsea Football Club to Sir David Frost and the NSPCC.

Jonny was born in Kenya but educated at Epsom College and then Durham University, where he gained a single honours politics degree. This was followed by a post-graduate course at the Academy of Live & Recorded Arts Drama School.

In addition to Major League Baseball, he has fronted numerous other TV shows, including Live & Dangerous, Boxing Classics, The Laureus World Sport Awards and the hugely popular game show Brainteaser. He has also presented the sport on ITV Carlton’s London Tonight and various poker shows including Poker 425 and of course Sky Poker when we first launched. Jonny is also the presenter on Telegraph's Fantasy Football on-line channel throughout the domestic football season.

Paired up with his old friend, Ed Giddins, on this Sunday’s show (27th June) will be a treat for all our viewers.

Enjoy the show!

    "Lets get down & dirty" as Gouldy always says!

    I did my first ever TV Show with Gouldy, & without his guidance & advice, I'd be rich & famous now. ;)

    In fact, more truthfully, I'd be succesfully retired were it not for Gouldy. I blame him.

    Welcome back Gouldy.

    Very sad day for me when C5 gave up on baseball.

    Jonny's unique style made the show which I watched avidly from 1997 .......... if Josh (his last sidekick) knows ought about poker.....get him on the show one night just for old time's sake!

    Look forward to seeing JG back on 865.

    Good grief, what a thought!

    You are right, Johny does tend to get a little enthusiastic & excited at times, a trait I'm fortunate not to share. Ish.

    Great news, I love Jonny!  I remember I made an open final table and because I had the same name as his son he started cheering me on for the win (sadly I came forth) but it was amazing fun to watch.  Also used to watch the baseball on Five through the night and was gutted when they cancelled it.

    Welcome back Sir!

    No Norman at the moment unfortunately. He went off last year to Australia to do a tour as Hale and Pace. Not sure what he is up to now

    I've only just seen this, and am looking forward to it immensely. 

    I saw him hosting a charity auction at a Lashings bash in Bromley a while back, and if his banter on Sky is going to be anything like that, then the ratings will soar.

    Unfortunately, I'd imagine he'd have to tone some of it down a touch though... Highly entertaining and quick-witted chap... can't wait.
