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 consumer and lifestyle programmes,
Gloria is one of the few broadcasters who can genuinely claim to
embrace the spectrum of popular culture. Now, having just been made
an OBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours and celebrating 70 years in
show-business, Gloria is ready to tell her story. Gloria has had
many lives - starting out as a singer aged seven alongside her
father in a troupe of entertainers, before taking the brave step to
travel and live in Canada as a teenager, which broadened her
horizons in a way she never could have imagined, coming from a
religiously divided Northern Ireland. Back home at the age of
twenty, following the release of her first record that went into
the Ulster charts, she was offered a job at BBC Belfast, which
started her on a career trajectory she could only have dreamed
about in those early years singing in front of her Bakelite radio,
hoping someone would hear her. Working through bombs, bullets and
barricades, and the turmoil of the Troubles in the seventies,
Gloria soon became a firm fixture on both radio and TV, especially
with her nightly show, Good Evening Ulster. It wasn't long before
Gloria's charm, wit and tenacity were spotted over the Irish sea,
becoming the first ever woman to have a daily radio programme in
1982, presenting on BBC Radio 2 continuously for the next 13 years.
Since then, Gloria's career has blossomed, and she has become
widely regarded as one of the most respected names in the industry.
In My Life Gloria will, for the first time, explore her life from
her humble beginnings to the much-loved national treasure she is
today.
