Helen Barnes

Helen McDermott (born c.1954) is a British radio and television presenter, best known for her work at Anglia Television. McDermott began her broadcasting career in the 1970s as a continuity announcer and newsreader for Westward Television in Plymouth. While at Westward, she made an attempt at a singing career under the pseudonym of 'Helen Barnes' and entered her song 'Eleven Out Of Ten' for Britain's entry in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1976. However, the song was not selected and instead was represented by 'Save Your Kisses For Me' by Brotherhood Of Man, who ultimately won that year's Eurovision.

In an interview with the Eastern Daily Press, Helen mentioned being happy that her only single 'Eleven Out Of Ten' was played by Peel on his show, despite him being rude about it and no other DJ's playing the record.
