Anneka Rice TV shows
Anneka began her TV career as a journalist and TV presenter working in the UK and across the world to report on the news. She later moved into presenting children's TV shows before landing her big break on Channel 4's Treasure Hunt.
While this was where she became a household name, it was Challenge Anneka she became most famous for. From The Larkins to Blankety Blank, we love a good TV reboot here at Yours so we were thrilled to that Challenge Anneka is being rebooted on Channel 5 as part of a new four-part series.
Here she is speaking about the new series at the 2022 NTA's.
