The Resume

    Born in London, United Kingdom
    Hosted the talk shows 'Vanessa' (1994-98) and 'The Vanessa Show' (1999)
    Presenter on 'The Big Breakfast' (1996-98) and 'This Morning' (2006- )

Why she might be annoying:

    'The Vanessa Show' was cancelled after it was discovered that some of the guests were actually hired actors.
    She released a fitness video, 'If I Can You Can,' although her weight loss had more to do with her undergoing a gastric bypass than her exercise routine.
    As of 2021, she has been engaged to Ben Ofoedu for a decade and a half without seeming to move any closer to their nuptials. (Shades of Oprah and Stedman.)
    She and Ofoedu have separate bedrooms in her mansion.
    Although she said about 'Celebrity Big Brother, 'It was ghastly, to be honest,' she returned nine years later for 'Ultimate Big Brother.'

Why she might not be annoying:

    The Guardian called her 'officially the hardest working woman in broadcasting.'
    She claimed that Rolf Harris grabbed her leg and tried to feel her up during a 1996 interview on 'The Big Breakfast.'
    She noted about the reaction on social media after she went public with the allegations, 'I was upset by the outpouring of misogyny and hatred and, you know, 'Who would want to assault Vanessa Feltz?''
    Her advice for reality TV contestants: 'If you don't say it or do it, it won't be on film. So don't say and do it if you don't want them to show it. And if they do show it, don't blame anyone but yourself.'
