Our 2nd Series kicks off in the presence of a supreme entertainer, an unquestionably colourful character (usually pink!) and someone who has enjoyed 35 years in the public eye.
Vanessa cut her teeth on ITV’s This Morning, subsequently becoming known as ‘the British Oprah’. The presenter of BBC Radio 2’s Early Breakfast Show and BBC Radio London’s Breakfast Show between 2003 and 2022, Vanessa has enjoyed an extraordinary ride with the British public.
She has presented and taken part in a raft of TV shows including Strictly Come Dancing, Celebs Go Dating, The Weakest Link, Cosmetic Surgery Live and Value for Money. She is also columnist at the Daily Express, presents a Saturday show on LBC and is the proud holder of three Pointless (BBC 1) trophies.
