Countryfile’s Anita Rani lands brand new BBC show – as she meets British acting icon
COUNTRYFILE presenter Anita Rani has a new role this holiday season.
She will be joining the BBC’s heartwarming documentary series My Life At Christmas.
In this year’s edition, Anita will sit down with Dame Sheila Hancock and Rudolph Walker to find out what Christmas means to them.
My Life At Christmas is an annual BBC series that brings together notable figures to share their cherished holiday traditions.
Each episode offers viewers a more personal glimpse into how celebrities celebrate Christmas.
Acclaimed actress Dame Sheila and former soap star Rudolph are expected to both delve into their family life and faith in the segment, which airs on December 1.
In previous years Guardian columnist Adrian Chiles and comedian Sally Phillips have hosted the show.
This exciting news comes a few months after Anita opened up about the breakdown of her marriage, sharing that she is excited for what life has to bring now she is single again.
The British radio and television presenter split from her husband Bhupi Rehal in 2023 after 14 years of marriage.
Anita referred to the next part of her life as a new chapter, saying: “I’m in a good place. I’m focusing on myself and my own wants.”
“It’s nice to be able to think about the second phase of my life. I’ve been calling it Chapter Two.”
She had previously called being single ‘uncharted territory’ when the couple first split.
Their busy work schedules were said to be a contributing factor in the divorce.
