Vanessa (British TV series)

Vanessa is a British daytime talk show presented by British broadcaster Vanessa Feltz. The show was originally broadcast on ITV from 13 May 1994 to 18 September 1998.

In August 1998, it was reported that Feltz had been sacked by Anglia because of her "unreal" demands to have her wages doubled to £2.75 million. Feltz also wanted the show's production base moved from Ipswich to London and to front more prime-time shows. The show would end when Feltz moved to the BBC the following year where she presented The Vanessa Show, a prime-time morning show following a similar format, Vanessa was replaced by Trisha shortly after airing.

Returns

In 2006, Feltz made a comeback to ITV as the host of a new talk show called Vanessa's Real Lives which was produced by Endemol's Brighter Pictures and ran for only one series.

In 2025 following Feltz's announcement of leaving her role on ITV morning talk show This Morning, she joined ITN Productions to host a Channel 5 daytime talk show spinoff of Jeremy Vine, which was advertised as an alternative to ITV daytime talk show Loose Women. In August 2025, its run was extended to "eight months at least" by Channel 5. The broadcaster was reportedly thinking of ways to "revamp" the programme to attract more viewers. Beginning with the show's third series in January 2026, the programme has run from 2pm to 3pm. This also saw a set and graphics change.
