Anna Clare Richardson[1] (born 27 September 1970)[1] is an English presenter, television producer, writer and journalist, as well as author of four books.
Richardson was born in Shropshire.[1] She started her television presenting career on The Big Breakfast on Channel 4, and thereafter for the next six years appeared regularly in television programmes including Love Bites for ITV, for which she was nominated for an RTS award.
Richardson went on to present Love Bites Back, Dream Ticket, Des Res and the ITV series Big Screen, where she met and interviewed a number of prominent Hollywood personalities.
She has also written and produced television programmes including No Waste Like Home; Turn Back Your Body Clock; and Channel 4's series You Are What You Eat.[2]
Richardson returned to television presenting on Channel 4’s Supersize vs Superskinny which covered the topic of unconventional dietary habits with an emphasis on celebrities. She tried radical regimes "in a quest to expose uncomfortable truths about the quest for size zero."
Richardson sued Arnold Schwarzenegger and two of his aides, Sean Walsh and publicist Sheryl Main, over comments they made about her claims that he groped her. The case was settled in 2006.[3]
She fronted Channel 4's The Sex Education Show,[4] broadcast from 9 September – 14 October 2008, which returned in March 2009 as The Sex Education Show vs. Pornography. A third series The Sex Education Show: Am I Normal? was broadcast on July 2010. The fourth series, called The Sex Education Show: Stop Pimping Our Kids, aired from 19-21 April 2011. The fifth series began on 19 July 2011.
