She spent another three seasons as the presenter of the US National Basketball Association in the UK, but also included entertainment presentation for Granada’s This Morning in 2002, and travel reporting for the Travel Channel in 2003. She currently co-presents, with Eamonn Holmes, a Saturday morning radio program on BBC Radio Five Live, and presents Taste, a daily food programme on Sky Three. Her other jobs include journalism, writing, and modelling.

She broke with Formula 1 racing coverage with the July 2004 publication of her book 'The Pits: The Real World of Formula 1' (ISBN 1-84354-237-4), in which she detailed her perception of sexism and mercenarism in the sport.

Her main charity interest is in sexual health and sexual politics, where she is a noted patron of the FPA (Family Planning Association).

She has a son with Cracknell, Croyde, born in 2005.

She has been a competitive swimmer and achieved a first class honours degree at Manchester University in English Literature/Language.
