ITV's new breakfast newsreader Tasmin Khan in nude photo scandal

London, Aug 5 (ANI): A new ITV breakfast newsreader is at the center of a nude photo scandal.

Tasmin Khan, 30, who has signed up to read the headlines on new flagship morning show Daybreak, alongside hosts Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley, posed for sexy shots between 2003 and 2006.

In one of the pictures, Khan is seen showing off her charms while sporting only a colourful necklace, while in others she is seen in her underwear or lying in the nude.

Khan, whose real name is Farhana, had grown up in Hendon, North West London, with her Bengali family.

She went on to graduate from Oxford University with a degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics, and later landed her first job in telly with cable channel Zee TV.

She then joined the BBC's Asian Network and Channel Five before landing news reading roles on BBC Three and BBC News 24.

She will begin her role on Daybreak when the show launches next month in place of GMTV.

"Everyone involved with Daybreak was excited that Tasmin was joining the team," the Sun quoted a source as saying.

"But now the crew's eyes will be out on stalks the first time they see her stride on to the set. She's a stunning girl and the photos have certainly set tongues wagging," the source added. (ANI)
