Famous for

One of her earliest roles as a television presenter was on the short-lived Saturday morning children's show UP2U. The show was a flop, and is chiefly remembered today for a motorcycle stunt which went wrong, leaving Turner slightly burned by faulty pyrotechnics.

Turner later became famous for presenting the children's television show Blue Peter, 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 the ITV morning television station GMTV, as well as the first National Lottery draw on BBC1 in 1994, and the ITV travel show Wish You Were Here...?

After her present husband, persistent business man, Grant Bovey left his wife Della for Anthea, the ensuing tabloid interest, and then the "Flakegate" scandal (see below), Turner's career went into a decline.

In 2001, to try reviving her career, Turner appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, and was the third contestant to be evicted, after Chris Eubank left, followed by Vanessa Feltz. 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 housewives how to fold towels, clean and run their houses and prepare perfect canapés, amongst other accomplishments. Later in 2006, she appeared as a guest on BBC Two's music-based panel show Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
