Anthea Turner: Climb Every Mountain

2026-02-16

This is one I’ve been waiting for. My friend Anthea Turner has been one of the defining faces on our screens for nearly four decades, and we share a very special bond. From the Blue Peter garden to the GMTV sofa, she’s always been warm, polished and endlessly professional. She’s handled fame, headlines and reinvention with grit and good humour and that trademark candour runs through every moment of our chat, as she takes us on a journey from Mount Kilimanjaro to Tracy Island. And today we launch our Patreon Page
