Presenter had earlier announced exit from BBC after nearly 20 years and will take on three-hour slot from September
Vanessa Feltz has announced she is joining TalkTV after leaving the BBC after nearly 20 years on its radio stations.
Feltz, 60, will replace Jeremy Kyle as presenter of the fledgling network’s three-hour drivetime show from 5 September. Kyle, meanwhile, is to host a new primetime show on TalkTV launching in the autumn.
Feltz said: “The allure of a retirement reclining on a chaise longue while the fragrant Ben [Ofoedu, her partner] peeled me a grape was fleeting. While there are politicians to be tackled, fat cats to be flattened, scams to expose and lovely listeners to champion, it’s my mission to breathe fire into the microphone.
“After an elegant sojourn at the BBC, I am effervescent with joy at the invitation to unleash my hitherto hidden side on Talk TV.”
News UK’s broadcasting president, Scott Taunton, said: “Vanessa Feltz is not only a world-class broadcaster, she’s also a national treasure. I’m delighted that she is joining the brilliant talent roster at TalkTV.
“With no alarm clock needed, I’m sure our viewers and listeners will be getting the full force of Feltz.”
