ITV Racing presenter Ed Chamberlain has some help with his duties from glamorous Francesca Cumani.
The pair often front up all the action on Saturday from the biggest meets around the country, with a little help from the likes of Jason Weaver and Co.
Who is Francesca Cumani?
The 37-year-old was born in Newmarket, Suffolk – home to one of the best racecourses in the UK.
She hails from racing royalty with her father Luca a former trainer and breeder from Italy who won the Epsom Derby, King George and St Leger.
Francesca’s grandparents were also involved in horses, with her nan Elena a champion amateur jockey and granddad Sergio a popular trainer.
Is she an ITV presenter?
Francesca has been one of the familiar faces of the Royal Ascot week for ITV, as well as fronting their usual Saturday coverage.
She became one of ITV’s presenters in 2016, often showing off her glamour and racing knowledge at events including Cheltenham.
Cumani has featured alongside ex-Sky Sports man Chamberlain in front of the cameras.

. I really can’t chose a favourite outfit from the week but this one source off @instagram by @sarahkatebyrne from @toadstoolfarmvintage is a bit special. Especially paired with the bespoke @jesscollettmilliner and @jennifergibsonjewellery.

Is she married?
Francesca married Australian polo star Rob Archibald in 2014, welcoming their son two years later.
But with both spending much of their time at opposite ends of the globe, they ended their relationship in October 2018.
She dated ITV Racing commentator colleague Oli Bell after but the pair reportedly split earlier this year in January.

My vintage dress for the @newmarket_racecourses July Cup on @itvracing was from @pretavintage & super clever interchangeable hat from @fernandalewismillinery who will both be there! #shop #vintage #styling #millinery #racing #occasions #dressups
