Beloved TV presenter and former news anchor Angela Rippon has truly done it all. She made history as the first female national newsreader on the BBC’s Nine O’Clock News, has fronted a wide range of popular programmes including Antiques Roadshow, Top Gear and Rip Off Britain and, just two years ago, she became the oldest contestant ever to compete on Strictly Come Dancing at 79.
Now, with her 81st birthday fast approaching, this passionate presenter has no intention of slowing down.
