Romana D'Annunzio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Romana D'Annunzio (born 14 January 1972) is a Scottish television presenter, who presented the children's programme Blue Peter from 1 March 1996 until 20 February 1998; she got the job after a chance meeting its then-editor, Lewis Bronze, at the Edinburgh Television Festival.

During her two years on Blue Peter, one of D'Annunzio's most memorable moments was a wing-walking assignment. She also went on two 'Summer Expeditions', to Hong Kong and Canada.

After leaving Blue Peter, D'Annunzio decided to concentrate on her stage acting career. However, she did return to television for a small role as a 'female clubber' in the Channel 4 drama The Young Person's Guide To Becoming A Rock Star.

In 2005, D'Annunzio took part in the Channel 4 programme When Blue Peter Became ABBA; at the time of filming, she was a full-time degree-level student.

D'Annunzio currently has a part-time Saturday job, working on the MAC make-up counter at Harvey Nichols in Edinburgh.
