Alex Dolan Explained
Alexandra Marie Dolan is a weather presenter, and former journalist and science teacher.
Early life
Dolan was born in Cuckfield, in West Sussex. She attended The Leys School and Cambridge Centre for Sixth-form Studies, and went on to study marine biology at Newcastle University.
Undercover Teacher
Working as a science teacher, she went undercover for the 2005 Channel 4 documentary Undercover Teacher to expose mismanagement as well as the extent of pupils' bad behaviour.[1] For this, she was suspended from teaching for one year by the General Teaching Council with the claim that she had 'breached student trust'.[2] The decision has received criticism from both teachers and commentators.[3]
Television Career
She was a presenter on BBC's Roar (2006 TV series), and Sky Television's Ocean Rescue in 2008.[4] In 2010, she joined BBC Look East as a weather presenter.
In 2019, Dolan moved from Norwich to Cromer in Norfolk.[5]
