Derek Ross King, better known as Ross King (born 20 February 1962) is a British television presenter, actor and writer, best known for being LA Correspondent for ITV Breakfast programmes Lorraine and Good Morning Britain.
Ross formerly presented shows on Radio Clyde from America and various local LA shows. He is the automated telephone voice of American Express in the UK.
King made his first stage appearance in 1966 at the age of five. He went on to appear on Radio Clyde aged 17 and made his television debut two years later. He was chosen to present Young Krypton, a youth version of The Krypton Factor, from over 3600 applicants. He went on to present numerous other television shows, including The 8:15 from Manchester and Pebble Mill.
From 1993 to 2010, King was the LA correspondent on GMTV. From September 2010 onwards, he is the LA correspondent for GMTV's replacement shows Daybreak and Lorraine. When Daybreak was replaced by Good Morning Britain in 2014, King continued his role as LA correspondent. After moving to Los Angeles in 2002, he secured roles in a film with Steven Seagal and in the 2004 release The Day After Tomorrow before entering a reality TV competition run by local television station KTLA to find a new weather presenter. There were 5000 entrants to the competition, but King won and was offered a five-year contract. However, King did not want to commit to being a weather presenter for that length of time and struck a deal to present the weather for a year before becoming KTLA's entertainment anchor.
