Laurence Llwellyn Bowen, one of the original members of the Changing Rooms cast, has said of the presenter, ‘What’s really nice with Anna is she has a sort of Peter Panishness, a puckishness, a naughtiness that she’s very much bringing to this.’ 

‘I think everyone who’s watched Naked Attraction knows she’s very clever with words, she’s very good at getting information out of people and that’s definitely something she’s using very well.’ 

The show, first broadcast on the BBC has swapped for Channel 4, and Anna has taken over from the original host Carol Smilie.

The TV personality has recently split from her long-term girlfriend Sue Perkins. 

MailOnline revealed that nobody else is involved in the decision which the couple made several weeks ago with ‘a heavy heart’.   

Anna and Sue have been living apart since last Autumn and only see each other when exchanging custody of their beloved dog.

Friends close to the couple, who dated for eight years, say the pair were on different pages about wanting to start a family, with Anna ‘keen to become a mother’ and Sue unsure it was the ‘right time’ to think about kids.

MailOnline revealed that Anna moved out of their shared £2million North London home to live in Staffordshire to be close to her mum, who is caring for her father who is suffering from dementia.
