A BOTOX treatment, tasting mustard on an Oreo biscuit and speaking to a Hollywood actor - it has been a fun and varied start to a Bradford man's career co-presenting a live weekday TV show in the USA.

David Nowakowski is the co-host of daytime TV show Loving Living Local, a show on the FOX21 channel in Colorado, every weekday between 9am and 10am.

The live lifestyle show is similar to ITV's This Morning in the UK with features on subjects including food.

 

Mr Nowakowski, 36, also known by his nickname Nova, says he is loving his first stint as a live TV presenter, which started last month.

He has also interviewed Mario Lopez, who starred in 1990s TV show Saved By The Bell, on the lifestyle programme.

Mr Nowakowski, who has also been the keyboard player of Bradford band Scars on 45, said: "The first few weeks have been incredible, not just from a learning experience, but that every single day and week is different.

"Everyone has been so nice in looking after me and helping me settle in.

"Overall, I'm loving the journey so far. Even the viewers have made me feel welcome, with some lovely messages that I've received on social media.

"I'm covering anything from music to botox. Loving Living Local is a lifestyle/entertainment show so we have such a wide range of guests and topics.

"It certainly keeps you on your toes and makes the job very interesting.

 

"I was also lucky enough to feed a 700lb bear at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, which was an amazing experience in itself."

Mr Nowakowski, who lives in Denver, Colorado, and officially became a US citizen last year, says he loves the 'buzz' of live TV presenting and thanked

He added: "In-studio live TV is something I'd never done before. Loving Living Local is literally 9am each morning for an hour, where you give it your everything in the morning.

 

"The buzz from live TV is also amazing and getting people to be as connected to you as much as possible each day.

"I got to present the show solo, which was one of the biggest experiences ever so far.

"The main highlight has been the huge array of guests I've meant while starting the job.
