EspañolANNE DIAMOND
'Anne Diamond' (born 8 September 1954) is an English television presenter
She is known for hosting ''Good Morning Britain'' for TV-am and the (deliberately) similarly-titled ''Good Morning... with Anne and Nick'' for BBC1, both with Nick Owen as her co-presenter
Anne makes regular appearances airing her views as a pannelist on Channel 5's ''The Wright Stuff''.
Diamond began her media career starting with ''ATV Today'' and ''Central News'', before joining the BBC in 1983
After TV-am's chief executive Peter Jay quit, new producer Greg Dyke sacked presenters Anna Ford and Angela Rippon, to be replaced by new team Nick Owen, Diamond - and puppet, Roland Rat. The shows figures slowly picked up.
Diamond attracted criticism in 1989, when she commented that a major advantage to East Germans of the fall of the Berlin Wall was the extended range of shops that they would now be able to visit, a comment that appeared to suggest that she had largely missed the event's political significance
Diamond became involved in raising awareness of cot death after her son, Sebastian, died from the syndrome in 1991. She fronted a campaign telling parents to ensure that babies slept on their backs. Since then, there has a significant fall in the incidence of cot death in the United Kingdom, from more than 2000 per year to less than 200, which has been attributed to the campaign. Even to this day the "back to sleep" campaign remains the UK's most successful health campaign in the United Kingdom ever.
After TV-am lost its license in 1992, Diamond was rejoined by Nick Owen to present daytime show ''Good Morning with Anne and Nick''. The program ran for 4 years against ITV's ''This Morning'', before going off air.
In the late 1990s she presented the breakfast show on the London radio station LBC, variously with Sir Nicholas Lloyd and Tommy Boyd. After a few months presenting her own lunchtime show in 1999, she left the station. In 2002 she remained in the spotlight by appearing in ''Celebrity Big Brother''.
In October 2004 she joined BBC Radio Oxford, presenting the weekday breakfast programme
In 2002 she remained in the spotlight by appearing in Celebrity Big Brother, in aid of a number of charities.
2004 saw Anne do panto, to rave reviews, in ''Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs'' in Stoke on Trent.
In 2006, she appeared in ''Celebrity Fit Club''. She was initially made team captain but was later demoted for walking off on her team. It was then revealed that she received Adjustable gastric banding surgery before appearing on the show, which provoked much press outrage. It subsequently emerged that Diamond had been unfairly pilloried since her operation had been botched and was completely ineffectual. She later quit the show on week 7. Shortly afterwards she left BBC Radio Oxford, presenting her last breakfast programme on 17 March 2006, her replacement being Sybil Ruscoe. Much had been made on the breakfast programme of "Diamond's Dieting Buddies", a scheme whereby Diamond and listeners to the station who wanted to lose weight would give one another moral support [1].
She married Mike Hollingsworth in 1989, and the couple have four children: Oliver, James, Jake and Conor. But after he had an affair with radio presenter Harriet Scott, they separated. Hollingsworth tried to get back together with Diamond after rows with Scott [2], but the couple have since divorced
