Female Expert Analysts on SkyPoker TV?

I've watched the shows for about a year now and haven't seen any women as guest analysts on the show.
  - Anyone who's been watching them for longer can point out if there has been!
Just wondering if any of the leading female Pro's have been approached to be guests such as Liv Boeree or Vicky Coren.
It seems like SkyPoker has a slightly dated view that the pretty lady is the presenter/host of the show but lets leave it to the men to talk poker...

any thoughts/points welcome!

    Jen Mason would be great.

    Amy Trodd too.

    Doubt Liv/Vicky would be available to be a guest on Sky Poker given who they are sponsered by.

    Neil Channing, Sam Trickett, Sam Razavi and Jamie Burland are non sky sponsored so I dont think that would be a problem.

    From memory was Liv on the club a few years back?

    That site is a different prospect entirely to the above 4 players.

    Liv used to do stuff on Sky Poker but that was pre EPT bink and thus pre sponsor deal.

    Maybe of our successful site regs would be up for it; TallyTink, JamieLou, Yidette9, Samantha25, etc. (I think they're genuine females!)

    I think Jen Mason would be the best pick easily.

    I would also like to see Colette Doherty on (I believe she does a great hand at the Vegas cash tables of pretending to be a divvery old Irish Gran and then fleeces the 20 year olds but if I've made a mix up I'm sure someone will let me know).

    It's the new Acidman diet, I say revolting things just as you're eating therefore saving you from consuming any calories.

    arent the above all sponsored by Neil Channing;s site and an ipoker site rather than a major one. From what ive seen it seems that BBP and Sky seem to be pretty close in business terms. BBP players seem to be allowed to wear their logo on the sky channel and you dont see that as much with the other guys that come on.

    The problem i believe is, there are not that many females of high enough calibre to expertly analyse (this is not being sexist lol). Those that are command silly money to appear, men are ten to a penny in this field so if sky couldn't get a certain male presenter there are another ten waiting in the wings. Sky had terrible problems even trying to find a female presenter with enough basic poker knowledge, the agents would tell them 'yep she knows poker' and when they turn up they don't even know the hand values. I'm also led to believe that a lot of the top female players are contracted to do other things, and sky wouldn't even register on their radar with their renumeration, but having said all that i would love to see it happen.
