Presenter
From checking Cliff Richard’s teeth for peanuts, accusing Victoria Beckham of glowing (before she revealed her pregnancy) and playing the part of Oscar Wilde in dramatic reconstruction, to being bitten by an ostrich. My presenting career has been varied but never dull.
I have been lucky enough to rub shoulders with the famous in exotic locations (Day Out With Daly – 2 series for BBCNI) and in the confines of a TV studio on my chat shows (Saturday Live – RTE, The John Daly Show – 5 series for BBCNI). I have itched all over wearing ridiculous costumes, playing the parts of Viking warriors, kings and clan leaders to uncover a world of contentious history (A Pocket History of… - 2 series for BBCNI).
The recent fascination of owning property abroad has allowed me to present celebrity based shows (Snap), interactive panel forum shows (Ask the Property Experts) and to extract tips from those who have made their millions buying abroad (Property Kings), all on Overseas Property TV.
Prior to all of this I was a regular panellist and creator of Daly’s Weekly, (a weekly paper review) on Channel five’s The Wright Stuff and reporter and presenter, championing the causes of the consumer on the BBC1 Daytime show The Really Useful Show.
I have also been able to breathe fresh air on countryside shows, from The Countryside Hour and Langley Country on BBC2 to a 2007 pilot for a programme called Rural Retreats for BBC Daytime.
At one stage I seemed to be addicted to quiz shows. From my own creation, Class Distinction – The Schools Quiz with a difference - to putting my honours degree in education and business studies to good use on Big Crash and Bankraider.
I have also appeared on The Heaven and Earth Show (BBC1), Loose Women (ITV1 - honestly!) and Noels House Party (BBC1) – although until recently (Noel’s Second Coming) most of us denied knowledge of the last one!
I have also been a regular regional presenter and network insert presenter on Children In Need since 2001 up to and including 2008.
