Beverley Turner has been presenting for GB News since 2022, and currently presents their weekday morning slot.

Prior to this, she has appeared on ITV’s This Morning, discussing several breaking news stories, as well as commenting and debating on prominent topics, including politics to parenting to pandemics. She has been a regular panellist on Channel 5’s Jeremy Vine Show for several years, where she discusses current affairs topics in a thoughtful but sometimes divisive manner.

She has regularly appeared on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, and BBC1’s Breakfast.

Beverley was also the writer and presenter of Sky 1’s Taste, 65 x one hour food and drink shows, showcasing TV talent that was unknown at the time, such as Angela Hartnett, Gino D’Acampo, and Olly Smith. She also hosted her own late-night music show Videotech for ITV 1, interviewing everyone from the Spice Girls to Coldplay to Take That.

Whilst she worked for ITV, she covered everything from the NBA to the Tour de France to Formula 1, and whilst she was a motorsport novice, she brought “the sport to life from behind the screen”. She covered the channel’s F1 coverage where she took part in a race at Donington Park with 1996 World Champion Damon Hill.

She has also presented the Bump Club on BBC Radio 5 Live, following a group of pregnant women through to motherhood; and her own talk show on LBC from 2015 to 2019.

WRITER

Beverley is the author of three non-fiction books:

The Pits (2005): Beverley wrote this after presenting ITV’s coverage of F1 for three years. In this book she talks about the negative side of working on the sport, finding a lot of it to be sexist and discriminatory.

Touching Distance (2013): This book looks at the before and after of athlete James Cracknell’s (who happened to be Bev’s husband at the time) accident and brain injury, confronting the lasting effects that the accident had on their lives.

The Happy Birth Book (2017): Beverley started an antenatal course in West Londin in 2015, which then morphed into several more successful groups. This book lays out all the facts about pregnancy, birth, and new parenthood, from scans to stretch marks to hypnobirthing.
