Anna Richardson

Biography:

Anna Richardson started her television-presenting career on The Big Breakfast – Channel 4’s most successful breakfast show. She was soon spotted for her wit and frank down-to-earth style, and beat some of the best-known names in British TV to present the cult series Love Bites for ITV - a no-holds barred sex and relationships show for teens – for which she was nominated for a RTS award.

For the next six years Anna has hosted a number of programmes for the BBC and ITV including Love Bites Back, Dream Ticket, Des Res, Maternity Hospital and ITV’s flagship film series Big Screen, where she met and interviewed some of the biggest names in Hollywood.

Not content with just appearing in front of camera, Anna soon turned her attention to TV production – developing, writing and producing successful television formats for the BBC, ITV and Channel 4, including No Waste Like Home; Turn Back Your Body Clock; Sally Morgan Star Psychic and Channel 4’s hit series You Are What You Eat with Dr.Gillian McKeith, which has subsequently been sold to over 40 countries.

Anna burst back onto our screens and became every girl’s best friend when she investigated the world of extreme diets for Channel 4’s primetime series Supersize v Superskinny, and lost two stone along the way. Now a regular Channel 4 face, she is the presenter of award-winning sex and relationship series The Sex Education Show; food and diet series My Big Fat Diet Show; undercover surveillance show Secret Eaters and new primetime beauty series How Not To Get Old.

She is the author of two bestselling diet books ‘Anna Richardson’s Body Blitz and Mind Over Fatter’.
