Book details

Adrian Chiles and Christine Bleakley are the most popular presenting team on British TV today, and with their new role as hosts of ITV's Daybreak, the revamped GMTV, it looks like their stars are continuing to rise. Chiles had been fronting BBC's The One Show since it was first aired in 2006, but when Bleakley joined the following year it quickly became clear that they were a magical combination. For almost three years they thrilled audiences and, with their easy banter and laid-back style, they made The One Show a firm favourite in the early evening schedule. This fascinating biography studies the careers of the presenters -- from Bleakley's childhood in Northern Ireland and first job in radio, to Chiles' rise through the ranks, presenting Working Lunch, The Apprentice: You're Fired! and Match of the Day 2. It examines what exactly it is that makes them what can only be described as a dream team.
