HelloBarbara 1,522 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Yes. She's a household name in the UK. There was a mini-series biopic on her a few years ago, where she was played by Sheridan Smith (of Gavin & Stacey, Mrs Biggs, The C Word, Benidorm). She is best known for her TV presenting roles in Blind Date and Surprise, Surprise! She died last year. Hiiieee Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
