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 book Next To You - that she sealed her reputation as one of the nation's most respected writers and commentators.
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 Castle in the Country for BBC2. 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. She has been working with Flora pro.activ on the Check for Change campaign to raise awareness of the link between the menopause and raised cholesterol. 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 recent appearances on Through the Keyhole, The Paul O'Grady Show and The Alan Titchmarsh Show.
