A source told the Sunday People: “Anthea really wanted this gig as she has not been doing too much lately. This will get her face back on TV. Anthea and Grant Bovey, 53, who finally split in 2013 after Grant was linked to ­designer Zoe de Mallet Morgan, then 25, have recently completed their divorce.

She is still a major investor in his Yummi Media Group, which lost ­£6million over two years. The source added: “The cash from the new job will come in very handy as the separation has been tough.” The ex-Blue Peter host, who has also been starring in ads for the Health Lottery, is to take up her new role in the next few weeks. But the draw, which raises cash for local health causes, has been criticised for donating only 20.3% of the ticket price to good causes. The National Lottery gives 28%.

Move to television [ edit ] Edit Turner moved into television through Sky Channel and Music Box presenting live music programmes from July 1986 to 1989. Her debut on national television was with the BBC on But First This, which led to her fronting two series for the BBC on the Saturday morning show Up2U. The short-lived Saturday morning children's show UP2U was a flop, and is chiefly remembered for a motorcycle stunt that went wrong. Turner suffered burns and temporary hearing loss, which led to her successful lawsuit against the BBC. She was the only non- Radio One DJ to regularly present Top of the Pops , remaining with the programme for three years. Blue Peter, Dancing On Ice and GMTV [ edit ] Edit Turner presented the children's television show Blue Peter from 27 June 1992 to 29 June 1994, and around this time, was also associated with publicising ' The Y Plan ', a system of exercise developed by the London YMCA .

She moved on to presenting on Totally Live on pan-European music channel Music Box and the ITV morning television station GMTV , which she presented from July 1994 to 24 December 1996. She was also a host on the first National Lottery draw on BBC1 on 19 November 1994 with Noel Edmonds and Gordon Kennedy . She remained as sole host of The National Lottery Live until 20 April 1996, when she defected to ITV and the travel show Wish You Were Here...?, becoming the second highest paid female television presenter in Great Britain, after Cilla Black . She released two work-out videos: Anthea Turner Body Basics (1996) and Anthea Turner: Tone, Lift And Condition: The Inch Buster (1999), both produced and distributed by Grant Bovey. The relationship between Turner and her GMTV co-presenter Eamonn Holmes was frosty, with Holmes issuing an ultimatum to the GMTV management that he would leave if they did not sack his colleague; Turner lost her job.

[3 ] After Bovey left his wife Della for Turner, the ensuing tabloid interest, and then the "Flakegate" scandal (see below), Turner's career went into a decline. Attempting to revive her career, Turner presented BBC1 's short-lived Saturday evening programme Your Kids Are In Charge in 2000 with Wendy Turner Webster , her sister. The following year, she participated in Celebrity Big Brother , and was the third contestant to be evicted, after Chris Eubank and Vanessa Feltz . But nothing seemed to work to erase the fallout from the media reaction to Flakegate , and in 2003 she came 15th in a Channel 4 poll of 100 Worst Britons. Turner's most recent career exploit was on Dancing On Ice, where she came 9th out of 12 celebrities with pro-skater Andrew Buchanan. In week 1, she performed Adele's Skyfall, scoring a mediocre 18. Despite being in the bottom two, against TOWIE star Lauren Goodger, in which she advanced to week 2. She got through in the battle rounds over X Factor singer Shayne Ward, getting immunity from the public vote.

In week 3, she performed Donny Osmond's Puppy Love, getting eliminated in a bottom two with Keith Chegwin Edit In February 2006, Turner made a television comeback on BBC Three in Anthea Turner: Perfect Housewife , where she taught disorganised housewomen and men how to clean and run their houses. This period was widely referred to in the television industry as the "Turner Renaissance". The series was accompanied by three related books. Later in 2006, she appeared as a guest on BBC Two 's music-based panel show Never Mind the Buzzcocks . In April 2009 Turner appeared on the ITV reality show Hell's Kitchen with Marco Pierre White, alongside her husband Grant Bovey. Anthea also presented the show Help Me Anthea, I'm Infested for BBC Three, as she advises people whose homes have been overrun by pests. Since then she has appeared on Big Brother serving breakfast in bed to the finalists. In 2010 Anthea has been starring in a new show Dinner Party Wars for Food Network Canada , where, together with chef Corbin Tomaszeski, they judge and rate couples putting on a dinner party.

Edit Turner's private life has led the tabloids to take a continual interest in her. After her long relationship with fellow Stoke resident and one-time DJ co-worker Bruno Brookes , she married her manager, former DJ Peter Powell ; the couple divorced in 1998. That year, Turner's present husband, Grant Bovey, left his wife Della for her; he then reconciled with Della, before leaving her again. Bovey and Turner eventually married on 23 August 2000. On 23 February 2009, the D aily Mail reported that their Surrey mansion had been put up for sale owing to catastrophic failures in Bovey's buy-to-let property business, Imagine Homes . The newspaper reported Turner is making television commercials for household detergents to alleviate financial difficulties. Turner is keen to start her own family with Bovey. She is stepmother to Bovey's three daughters Lily, Amelia and Claudia, from his previous marriage.

BBC News | ENTERTAINMENT | Anthea picture leaves sour taste Tuesday, 29 August, 2000, 18:03 GMT 19:03 UK Anthea picture leaves sour taste Hard to swallow: The offending shot Television presenter Anthea Turner says she is "distressed" by claims her wedding photographs were issued as part of a sponsorship deal with a chocolate manufacturer.

Turner and her new husband, businessman Grant Bovey, married last week, and celebrated their nuptials with a party at the weekend. The rights to the bash were bought by celebrity gossip magazine OK!, which issued a photograph to the media on Monday of them eating Cadbury's chocolate bars. One of the requests put to us by OK! was could we supply some chocolate for the wedding, but we did not insist they had their picture taken with it Cadbury spokesman But the couple, who are on honeymoon in Africa, said they had no part in issuing the picture - nor an accompanying caption plugging a new Cadbury's bar. Just one newspaper used the shot, and The Sun accompanied it with the headline "Sickener". A statement released by the pair said: "Ms Turner and Mr Bovey have not even seen the photographs taken by OK! and had no part in releasing this photograph or any knowledge of the accompanying caption. "Ms Turner and Mr Bovey have no contractual relationship with Cadbury's, nor did Cadbury's 'sponsor' the wedding reception." A Cadbury spokesman moved to play down the company's part in the affair. "One of the requests put to us by OK!

was could we supply some chocolate for the wedding, but we did not pay anything to the couple or insist they had their picture taken with it," he explained. "There were no preconditions and there was no sponsorship deal with the Boveys." OK! magazine said the couple had not been involved in the picture's release. Lottery fame Guests at the wedding included television presenters Gloria Hunniford and Esther Rantzen, singer Alvin Stardust, broadcaster Mike Reid and singer Martine McCutcheon. Foreseeing trouble: Former Lottery colleague Mystic Meg arrives at the reception Anthea Turner, 40, shot to fame in 1992 as a host of children's TV show Blue Peter. She went on to work for ITV's breakfast station GMTV, and at the height of her popularity, presented the first National Lottery draw in 1994. Her private life hit the headlines when she split up with former DJ Peter Powell - who is still her manager - in 1998 to go and live with Bovey. Grant Bovey's then-wife, Della, then entered the spotlight by launching a public campaign to win her husband back, which included appearing at the same public events at the couple.

While all this was going on, Turner was presenting ITV's travel show Wish You Were Here...?, a job she quit in 1999 when producers said they were looking for a "change of direction" for the long-running programme. Currently, she presents the Saturday evening quiz Your Kids Are In Charge for BBC One, alongside her sister Wendy. The magazine issued the photo to the media with this caption: "ANTHEA TURNER AND GRANT BOVEY exclusive OK! wedding photograph, enjoying Cadbury's new Snowflake.

She was one of three daughters born to her parents Brian and Jean Turner. One of her sisters, Ruth died aged 15. Her other sister is presenter Wendy Turner Webster Career Turner joined BBC Radio Stoke as a runner, eventually joining breakfast show presenter Bruno Brookes as part of his rap crew.

The couple became romantically involved and employed Peter Powell as an agent through his management company. Television Turner moved into television through Sky Channel and Music Box presenting live music programmes from July 1986 to 1989. Her debut on national television was with the BBC on But First This, which led to her fronting two series for the BBC on the Saturday morning show UP2U. During a motorbike stunt that went wrong on UP2U, Turner suffered burns and temporary hearing loss, which led to her successful lawsuit against the BBC. She presented Top of the Pops from October 1988 to May 1991, and, for the final 18 months of this period, was the only non-Radio 1 DJ to regularly do so. Turner presented the children's television show Blue Peter from 27 June 1992 to 29 June 1994, and around this time, was also associated with publicising 'The Y Plan', a system of exercise developed by the London YMCA.

She moved on to presenting on Totally Live on pan-European music channel Music Box, followed by GMTV which she presented from July 1994 to 24 December 1996. Turner was also a host on the first National Lottery draw on BBC One on 19 November 1994 with Noel Edmonds and Gordon Kennedy.

Sponsored Links Turner released two work-out videos: Anthea Turner Body Basics (1996) and Anthea Turner: Tone, Lift and Condition: The Inch Buster (1999), both produced and distributed by Grant Bovey. The relationship between Turner and her GMTV co-presenter Eamonn Holmes was frosty, with Holmes issuing an ultimatum to the GMTV management that he would leave if they did not sack his colleague; as a result of this Turner lost her job.

After Bovey left his wife Della for Turner, the ensuing tabloid interest, and then the "Flakegate" scandal, Turner's career went into a decline. Attempting to revive her career, Turner presented BBC One's short-lived Saturday evening programme Your Kids Are in Charge in 2000 with her sister Wendy Turner Webster. The following year, she participated in Celebrity Big Brother, and was the third contestant to be evicted, after Chris Eubank and Vanessa Feltz. But nothing seemed to work to erase the fallout from the media reaction to Flakegate, and in 2003 she came 15th in a Channel 4 poll of 100 Worst Britons. In February 2006, Turner made a television comeback on BBC Three in Anthea Turner: Perfect Housewife, where she taught disorganised house women and men how to clean and run their houses. This period was widely referred to in the television industry as the "Turner Renaissance". The series was accompanied by three related books. Later in 2006, she appeared as a guest on BBC Two's music-based panel show Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

In April 2009, Turner appeared on the ITV reality show Hell's Kitchen with Marco Pierre White, alongside her then husband Grant Bovey. Turner also presented the show Help Me Anthea, I'm Infested for BBC Three, as she advised people whose homes have been overrun by pests. Anthea took part in the first series of the Channel 4 game show The Jump in 2013. The show saw twelve celebrities take part in winter sports. The show is set in a mountainside in Austria. On August 23, 2015, she replaced Anne Diamond and Sian Welby as the host of the Health Lottery draws on Channel 5. until Welby returned on 2 October. She took part in a special celebrity edition of Channel 4's First Dates on 12 October 2015, in aid of Stand Up To Cancer. She has worked alongside Ideal World to create her own range of home storage solutions. Dancing on Ice In 2013, Turner appeared as a contestant in the eighth series of Dancing on Ice, where she finished in ninth place out of twelve celebrity skaters. She participated in the show with her professional skating partner Andrew Buchanan.

In the third week she performed to the Donny Osmond song "Puppy Love", and ended up in the skate-off against Keith Chegwin. They lost the skate-off and were the fourth couple to be eliminated in the series. Note: Week 3 was a duel, in which the judges did not give scores, instead the celebrities were paired up and the judges chose which performance they preferred, making them immune from the public vote. Personal life Turner's private life has led the tabloids to take a continuing interest in her. After her long relationship with fellow Stoke resident and one-time DJ co-worker Bruno Brookes, she married her manager, former DJ Peter Powell in 1990; the couple divorced in 1998. The year of her divorce from Powell, Turner moved in with the CEO of Imagine Homes, Grant Bovey. Bovey left his wife, Della, to move in with Turner; he reconciled with Della, before leaving her again to return to Turner. Turner and Bovey married on 23 August 2000.

Turner was keen to start her own family with Bovey, who has three daughters (Lily, Amelia and Claudia) from his marriage to Della. On 23 February 2009, the Daily Mail reported that their Surrey mansion had been put up for sale owing to catastrophic failures in Bovey's buy-to-let property business. The newspaper reported Turner was making television commercials for household detergents to alleviate financial difficulties. Turner and Bovey briefly split up in 2012, due to Bovey's extramarital affair. In January 2013, Turner was quoted as saying: "Last year was awful, horrible, one of the worst. But at the end of the day Grant is my future, my soulmate." However they separated again in August 2013, this time permanently. They divorced in October, 2015. Controversies In 2000, Turner received negative publicity from tabloid newspapers when photographs of her wedding reception, published in the magazine OK!

in an exclusive deal worth £450,000, showed the couple (apparently) using their wedding to publicise a new Cadbury chocolate bar, Snowflake. OK! issued the photo to the media with the caption "Anthea Turner and Grant Bovey: exclusive OK! wedding photograph, enjoying Cadbury's new Snowflake. For the complete wedding coverage and a free Cadburys Snowflake, buy OK! magazine this weekend. OK! First for celebrity news." The Sun described it as "the most sickening wedding photo ever", and the event is now referred to as "Flakegate". Turner, Bovey, Cadbury's and OK! all denied that the chocolate was part of a sponsorship deal. The wedding was paid for by OK! magazine. Pictures of their wedding and their subsequent honeymoon were in the magazine for the next two weeks. Turner and Bovey insist that someone had stuck the chocolate bar in her hand and snapped a picture before she knew what was happening, though both are seen biting down on each of their own bars. Richard Desmond the proprietor of OK! and his wife were sitting next to the newly married Boveys at the time.
