Edith Bowman, 51, discusses being targeted by trolls and says it's 'very hard' for celebrities to 'come back' after 'messing up' on social media


The Radio and TV personality, 51, spoke about the pressures of being famous and how it can be 'very hard' to resurrect your career after 'messing up' on social media.

Edith's own career began before social media around the turn of the millennium as part of a new generation of women at MTV, including Cat Deeley, Donna Air and June Sarpong, who were heralded as a fresh type of presenter – 'ladettes'. The DJ has previously spoken about being ‘edged out’ by Radio One and how she felt ‘let down’ when her weekday afternoon slot was moved to the quieter weekend breakfast show in 2009. However, being sidelined by Beeb bosses led to Ms Bowman branching out on her own more and landing Hollywood interviews with the likes of Ryan Reynolds and Steven Spielberg for her podcast Soundtracking.
