Arianna 'really excited' for Huffington Post UK edition

The US blog-led news site The Huffington Post is launching its UK edition on Wednesday.

It launched a Canadian version in May, but the UK edition will be the first one outside North America.

The Huffington Post was set up by Arianna Huffington in 2005 and bought by AOL earlier this year for $315m (£222m).

Arianna Huffington told BBC Breakfast's Simon Jack she is "really excited" about the launch.
