Carla Romano (born in Dundee, Scotland, UK, in 1969) is a Scottish journalist, model and producer of Italian descent. Romano studied French and politics at the University of Dundee[when?] and now has a postgraduate diploma in journalism from the University of Strathclyde as well.
She began her broadcasting career in February 1996 at BBC Radio 5 Live, as a producer and reporter on the cultural identity documentary series British Like Me. A Degree of Desperation, a half-hour programme she produced on student prostitution was subsequently nominated for a Sony Radio Award, but did not collect one. During 1997, Romano worked as a reporter on BBC Radio Scotland's weekly current affairs programmes Eye to Eye and Newsweek. She also produced Radio 5 Live's four-part animal trade documentary series Beastly Business. In 1998 she won a Commission for Racial Equality media award by presenting a BBC radio documentary series on racism in Scotland.
Romano moved to television in 1997, reading the breakfast and late night bulletins on BBC Scotland, also occasionally reported on Scottish stories for BBC News 24. Romano probably became GMTV's Los Angeles correspondent in March 2005, (replacing Jackie Brambles). Despite having a strong Dundee accent, her work in Los Angeles has meant that her accent has become a blend of Scottish and American. Carla occasionally relief presents for the main GMTV programme.
