Donna rose to prominence in 1992 on BBC children's drama Byker Grove alongside – yep – Ant and Dec, before transitioning to TV presenting on The Big Breakfast and MTV Select.

More recently, the 38-year-old Geordie socialite has dated James Middleton, brother to Pippa and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, no less.

Speaking after her being unveiled, Donna said: "It is absolutely terrifying. It's exciting though, it's looking like it's going to be a great series...

"It's really difficult. Apparently my posture's terrible so I've got to work on that. I need to build more core strength. My daughter's like 'oh no, mum you're going to be so embarrassing'."
