Vanessa Feltz Launches Daily Lunchtime Show on Channel 5

Channel 5 is set to launch a new daytime show hosted by veteran broadcaster Vanessa Feltz, starting March 24. The show aims to provide a light-hearted escape from the heavy news agenda, featuring discussions on relationships, parenting, gossip, and fashion, while allowing viewers to dictate the topics. Feltz expressed her enthusiasm for the project, stating it will focus on real stories and emotions, inviting audiences to relax and engage in meaningful conversations. ITN Productions will produce the series, which is anticipated to showcase celebrities in a new light through confessions and celebrations. Channel 5's commissioning editor, Federico Ruiz, emphasized Feltz's status as a beloved figure, stating she is ideal for lunchtime viewing. This marks a significant return for Feltz after her previous roles in British broadcasting, including her time at TalkTV, and her earlier programs on ITV and BBC.
