She also fronted her own ITV daytime quiz show, Riddiculous, which will be returning for a second series in early 2024.
In 2020 she showed off her dancing skills by reaching the semi-finals of BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing, and has also fronted shows such as All Around Britain with Alex Beresford, and presented ITV’s Real Stories, telling unique stories of people who have experienced life-changing events.
