 == Biography ==
-Caernarfon born-and-bred Mari Lovgreen is perhaps one of the most natural presenters of Welsh television. She made her debut as presenter of S4C's live magazine series for teenagers, ''Uned 5'' in November 2004. Since then, her star has shone. Mari is one of the out-of-vision presenters of anarchic quiz show [[Waaa!!]] (produced by Antena TV, makers of ''Uned 5'') and took part recently in ''Y Brodias Fawr'', where Welsh celebrities attempted to organise a wedding. Mari is also a correspondent for S4C's live marathon coverage of the Urdd and National Eisteddfods and has presented three ''Uned 5'' documentaries from Thailand (on the first anniversary of the Asian tsunami), Melbourne and Peru.
