Vanessa Feltz claims she wasn't allowed any input in her own talk shows because of prevailing sexist attitudes - as presenter reveals the one decision she COULD make


The presenter, 62, has claimed the only decision the broadcaster allowed her to make when Vanessa launched in 1994 was what colour she could paint her dressing room.

She said that the #MeToo movement has meant women in the workplace are ‘gradually beginning to receive the professional respect we deserve and the chance to compete on an equal playing field with our male colleagues. That said, even in 2024 we struggle to be paid as much as men and the workplace is still rife with sidelined women whose potential has been thwarted by male bosses appointing senior staff in their own image. Feltz, who split from long-term partner Ben Ofoedu last year amid claims of infidelity, currently works for LBC after stepping down from both her BBC Radio shows in 2022.
