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.[1][2]
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.[3] 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,[4] Vanessa was replaced by Trisha shortly after airing.[5]
In 2025 following Feltz's announcement of leaving her role on ITV morning talk show This Morning,[6] Vanessa returned to Channel 5 as a daytime talk show being advertised as an alternative to ITV daytime talk show Loose Women.[7][8]
