Gloria: My Life on TV
Gloria Hunniford looks back at her extraordinary career and reveals what it has been like to be woman, mother and grandmother on television and radio for more than half a century.
For more than 50 years, Gloria Hunniford has been one of the most familiar faces on British TV. From her early days as an eager news reporter on 大象传媒 Northern Ireland to prime time fame as chat show host on 大象传媒 One, she has been a well-loved household name for generations of viewers.
In Gloria: My Life On TV, she looks back at her extraordinary career and reveals what it has been like to be woman, a mother and a grandmother on television and radio for more than half a century.
Gloria tells us her experience as a young woman working in the male-dominated newsrooms of the era and how she had to prove herself reporting stories on the streets of Belfast at the height of the Troubles.
In 1982, Gloria was the first woman to have her own radio show on 大象传媒 Radio 2, which she presented for 13 years. She was also one of the first women on British television to have her own chat show, The Gloria Hunniford Show.
Speaking candidly about her personal life, Gloria reveals how she survived personal tragedies such as the loss of her beloved daughter Caron to cancer in 2004 and how, from the darkness, came the establishment of a foundation in Caron鈥檚 name that has raised thousands of pounds for hundreds for cancer charities.
Close friends and colleagues including Sir Cliff Richard, Daniel O鈥橠onnell, Gerry Kelly, Anthea Turner, Ruth Langsford, Eamonn Holmes, Richard Madeley, Christine Lampard and Dame Mary Peters pay tribute to Gloria鈥檚 remarkable life and career.
