Debbie's very proud of her TV and radio career - from working on a crazy radio show with Timmy Mallett, to stepping in for Phillip Schofield and becoming the first girl in the Children's BBC ‘broom cupboard’. After having her two lovely children, Debbie became the Forces' Sweetheart on SSVC TV for ten years, and co-presented several magazine and entertainment shows on BBC1, satellite and cable.
She's enjoyed interviewing hundreds of celebrities - from Jeremy Paxman to Barbara Windsor, and dozens of groups – from Bay City Rollers to Cleopatra; as well as singing on ‘Stars in Their Eyes’, although according to Debbie it 'sounded like Sheena Easton, but looked like Eartha Kitt!'

First breath, first steps, first lambs of spring Wow – I think this week I've had one of the most amazing experiences ever! Talk about 'Try it For the First Time'! This week, townie Flint here watched two little lambs being brought into the world.
What an amazing sight - seeing them emerge, then open their eyes for the first time, then try to stand – all I can say is 'wow'! By the way, if you click on the video, be warned as it's a little gory - 'goal end alert'! Hehe!
