Lowri Turner (born 31 December 1964 in London, England) to Welsh parents, is a British television presenter. She has presented the shows Looking Good, Housecall, Would Like To Meet and DIY SOS.
In 2004 Lowri took part in the reality TV show, Celebrity Fit Club and is currently a regular panelist on the Five show, The Wright Stuff.
She broke up with her husband Paul Connew when she was just a few weeks pregnant with her second child, Merlin. She also has another son Griffin. Turner writes a regular column for the Welsh newspaper Western Mail.
She commented on the Liberal Democrats leadership election, 2006 in a column entitled "However Much I Love My Gay Friends, I Don't Want Them Running The Country" [1] which stated explicitly that "gay men are ill-suited to representing the interests of the population in general" and "those who claim to be bisexual are simply trying to fudge the truth". This brought vigorous condemnation from Welsh politicians and LGBT campaigners, including a response from Stonewall Cymru [2]. Weeks later, on 23 February she appeared as a guest on BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour, for a feature discussing 'the existence of bisexuality', in which her staunch reiteration of her viewpoint dominated the discussion. This brought further accusations of blatant homophobia and biphobia, not only against her, but also against Radio 4 for the way in which the feature was compiled and presented.
Turner is one of triplets; her sister Catrin is identical, while their sister Nerys is non-identical and has severe learning difficulties due to autism [3] [4].
