    Feb 3 2025
    In this Monday episode of the Ask Anna series, Anna is joined by fabulous broadcaster, Cherry Healey.

    Together Anna and Cherry tackle the following connundrum:

    'I'm slowly accepting the fact that my relationship isn't making me happy and that I am too young to accept that this is just the way things are going to be. The only problem is I'm paralysed by the fear of what life could look like on the other side and the enormity of breaking my family up is preventing me from taking the next steps. Can you help?"


    Cherry Healey is a broadcaster, best known for presenting Inside the Factory on BBC One with Paddy McGuiness and 10 Years Younger in 10 Days. Cherry Healey began her onscreen career with numerous gritty documentary series for BBC Three focusing on life through the perspective of a woman, whilst also sharing her own personal stories and perspective throughout.

    These series included the groundbreaking Cherry Has a Baby - a programme that marked a moment in time where broadcasting began to give women’s experiences a voice. Her honest, warm and engaging presenting style quickly established her as a household name.

    With a passion for wellbeing and as a trusted women’s advocate, in 2022 Cherry achieved a lifelong ambition by fronting Women’s Health: Breaking the Taboos for Channel 5 - the first ever television programme to focus solely on women’s health.

    She recently gave a speech to the new Labour MP’s joining parliament encouraging investment and improvement within women’s health.

    Over the past few years Cherry has also curated and delivered wellness workshops for brands focusing on exercise, sleep and confidence and continues her work as an ambassador for the gynaecological cancer charity, The Eve Appeal.
