EspañolPAUL HUDSON
:''See Paul Hudson (Australian rules footballer) for the Hawthorn and Footscray footballer.''
'Paul David Hudson' (born 27 February, 1971 in Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire) is a weather presenter for BBC Yorkshire and BBC Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, in the UK.
He went to the Brontë Middle School (now being knocked down for housing) and Oakbank School in Keighley. He has a first-class degree in Geophysics and Planetary Physics from the University of Newcastle.
He can be seen on both editions of the regional news programme Look North, from Leeds (serving North, West and South Yorkshire and the north Midlands) and Hull (serving East Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and north Norfolk) where he has enjoyed regular sparring with presenter Peter Levy since the programme began in 2002. He returned to the BBC Yorkshire weather centre from the Met Office's old home of Bracknell in 1997 when Darren Bett left to present national forecasts. While there he endeared himself to his colleagues by bringing them all doughnuts after opening a bakers in Doncaster. He has also appeared on BBC One's Morning Show.
He can also be heard on BBC Radio Leeds, BBC Radio Sheffield, BBC Radio York, BBC Radio Humberside and BBC Radio Lincolnshire.
Although Rutland and its scenery is a popular place for tourists, in contrast to Bradford, he still likes to accuse Rutland of being ''dull''.
In May 2006, Paul was elected honorary Mayor of Wetwang. This post was previously occupied by Richard Whiteley.
He enjoys sea fishing, playing golf (he used to play at Riddlesden Golf Club), cricket (he played for Ingrow St Johns in the Craven League). He supports Bradford City and was trapped in that stand that caught fire in the Bradford City disaster of 1985[1]. He and Lisa Gallagher like to remind Peter of his comparative lack of qualifications, as well as anything vaguely humorous that they can crank out on that day. Christa Ackroyd fares similarly on the Leeds-based Look North. Elly Fiorentini on Radio York also gets the sharp end of his humour.
Paul got married in Huddersfield in July 2003 to Nicola (''née Shaw''), who also works on ''Look North'' as a reporter in Hull. He has a daughter, Eloise, born in April 2005.
Paul has written several books, published by Great Northern
==Love-hate relationship with Christa Ackroyd==
A favourite trick is to refer to an item in the news with any unglamourous attributes being fervently compared to the newsreader in situ.
★ After a story about an 11 foot python on the run in Sheffield on 27 June 2003, he said Christa was ''big fat and slimy''. This was featured in ''The Sun''.
★ In December 2006, after Christa had come back from holiday with a perma-tan, he made sure she knew how orange she looked, comparing her to racing car air-spray paint.
==Trivia==
Paul gave a presentation at Leeds Grammar School about global warming.
