As one of Britain's best known TV and radio personalities, Gloria Hunniford requires little introduction. From chat show and current affairs host to presenter of religious and lifestyle programmes, Gloria is one of the few broadcasters who can genuinely claim to embrace the spectrum of popular culture. Her elusive ability to communicate with people from all walks and backgrounds has earned her a rare iconic status in the hearts and minds of the British public. But it was with her moving and unsentimental account of her daughter's battle with cancer — in the best-selling books Next To You and Always With You — that she sealed her reputation as one of the nation's most respected writers and commentators. Her latest book Glorious Grandparenting: Having the Time of Your Life with Your Grandchildren is a wonderful celebration of what it is to be a grandparent today.
A prolific and talented broadcaster, Gloria has long championed the role of the solo female presenter. In 1982 she became the first woman to have her own daily radio show on BBC Radio 2 — which she presented continuously for 13 years — and she was one of the first female broadcasters to host her own chat show with the highly successful, Sunday, Sunday. Gloria currently presents Cash in the Attic for BBC1 and Cash in the Celebrity Attic for BBC2 as well as the hugely popular Rip-Off Britain for BBC1. She is also a frequent guest on The Alan Titchmarsh Show for ITV1 and has appeared as both regular news reviewer and co-host of This Morning. Gloria has also previously presented Angels for Sky Real Lives, co-hosted The One Show for BBC1, 3@Three for ITV1, Castle in the Country for BBC2 and has even been a guest on Channel 4's Countdown. Gloria has won many prestigious awards during her 30-year career including TV Personality of the Year, Radio Personality of the Year and Best Dressed Female. She is patron of a number of charities and dedicates much time to the causes she supports. Gloria was President of the Television and Radio Industries Club 1999-2000 and received the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001.
Gloria has fronted numerous successful promotional campaigns and is in great demand for corporate work. Most recently, she has been working with Flora pro.activ. Gloria had raised cholesterol and has successfully lowered it using Flora pro.activ from 6.35 to 5.22. Gloria is also a popular and enchanting guest of daytime shows, having made countless appearances across the channels.
