Lesley Judd

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lesley Judd (born 20 December 1946, London, UK) is a British actress and TV presenter, best known as a long-serving host of the BBC children's programme Blue Peter. Replacing Valerie Singleton in 1972, she presented alongside John Noakes and Peter Purves, a partnership that lasted until 1978 and remains the show's longest-running line-up. Before then, she had appeared as part of the dance troupe the Young Generation on several TV shows and also had a small role in the first Monty Python film, And Now For Something Completely Different, made in 1971.

After leaving Blue Peter, she featured as "The Mole" in the educational game show The Adventure Game, and was co-presenter of both the technology gameshow The Great Egg Race and the computer-related Micro Live. She also hosted the ever popular British radio show Woman's Hour from 1982 to 1988, and appeared as a television newsreader in the film Threads (1984).

She now lives in France and works as a conference organiser. Although she has been asked, on several occasions, to take part in Blue Peter reunions, she has always turned them down, as she feels that appearing on television is no longer a part of her life.
