Tori Lacey

Tori Lacey (born 13 May 1973) is a weather forecaster who works for BBC Weather mainly on Radio Five Live.

Early life

She was born as Victoria Jane Good in Buckinghamshire and went to Burnham Grammar School (as did Ulrika Jonsson) leaving in 1991, then studied Biomedical Sciences at the University of Bradford from 1992 to 1995.

Career

Lacey joined the BBC Weather Centre in April 2001, with her first broadcast in November 2001. She initially appeared regularly on the BBC News channel.

In early broadcasts, her name appeared as Victoria Good, but she quickly changed this to Tori Good. After marrying, she changed her name to Tori Lacey. Radio Five Live presenter Simon Mayo suggested it made her sound like an X-rated porn star, so she is considering changing her on-screen name to her full married name of Victoria Lacey.

Lacey broadcast her last weather forecast on Friday, 12 June 2009 (12.30 on the Victoria Derbyshire show) prior to going on maternity leave. She returned in mid-2010.

Personal life

She married Christopher Lacey in December 2005 in the Chiltern District of Buckinghamshire. She lived in Chalfont St Giles.
