After Dinner Speakers: Yvette Fielding, Dire Straits, Carl Llewellyn

Yvette Fielding first burst onto our screens in ‘Seaview’ at the age of 13. So successful was her performance that the eagle eyed producers of ‘Blue Peter’ snapped her up. At only 17 years of age Yvette was the youngest ever presenter of 'Blue Peter'. She went on to win the SOS Award for the Most Popular Woman on Television competing with Cilla Black, Victoria Wood and Kylie Minogue. As Yvette’s popularity grew, so did her work load, presenting shows such as ‘What’s up Doc?’, 'Practical Parenting', 'Looking Good', 'Heaven and Earth', BBC’s flagship show ‘City Hospital’, ‘Baby Baby’, ‘Girls Talk’, ‘Karaoke Challenge’, and ‘Well Being’ to name a few. She also dabbled in DIY shows when she hosted Granada’s studio based ‘Simply DIY’ and Meridians 'A Weekend's Work' the programme that re-furbished volunteers' homes in a weekend. She also presented 'Under Offer', a gameshow where celebrities guessed the value of unusual properties for ITV. Yvette also managed to fit in copious amounts of corporate work and the weekend's continuity for Challenge TV. So diverse has her career been that she can turn her hand to anything as ‘Most Haunted’ proves. Amid all this work Yvette took time out after her marriage to Karl to look after her two children William and Mary. Not only has Yvette excelled in her career as a presenter, she is also training towards a Black Belt in Karate. To which her instructor says, “Never have I taught such a determined, quick thinking, gutsy person”. Being in television most of her life, she put her experience into starting a production company with her husband Karl, a cameraman and producer. Antix Productions was born and ‘Most Haunted’ the first commission. Antix Productions are now currently in talks about a new adventure gameshow, which is the first of its kind and shooting a pilot for a new documentary series in the USA. They are also in talks with an American production company about a joint venture. Producers who have recently worked with her say Yvette is the most talented presenter they have ever employed! Yvette is an excellent interviewer with journalistic capabilities. She is wonderful with the public who adore her and is also a force to be reckoned with in light entertainment.
