Anneka Rice

Anneka Rice is an award-winning broadcaster, adventurer and campaigner. She has just marked fifty years since she joined the BBC as a young trainee. Anneka went on to work as a journalist in Hong Kong before a career swerve that saw her join Channel 4’s Treasure Hunt, which broke the mould of television, with a woman centre stage and calling the shots. She then devised the award-winning Challenge Anneka for the BBC, which has impacted the lives of thousands of people. The format has been sold around the world and Anneka is still closely involved with many of the projects. It remains her life’s work.
