Julie Anne Etchingham (born 21 August 1969) is an English journalist who works as a television newsreader with ITV News.

2007

On 29 October 2007, during a speech by David Cameron, Etchingham's microphone was left open and an aside was accidentally broadcast during live coverage of the Conservative leader's address.

Speaking on the issue of immigration, Cameron said: "Let me outline the action that a Conservative government would take. As we have seen, some of the increase in population size results from natural change – birth rates, death rates. Here our policy should be obvious ..."

At this point, Etchingham was clearly heard to say: "Extermination".

Sky News said afterwards that her comment was "regrettable".

Etchingham later described the incident as "not my finest hour. I apologised to Cameron personally".

On 31 October 2007, ITV confirmed that in January 2008 Etchingham would move to present the relaunched News at Ten with Sir Trevor McDonald.
