Ireland has one of the highest percentages of redheads in the world, and our next guest is a prominent figure in the Irish broadcasting landscape: Angela Scanlon. Angela is a well-known presenter and author, recognized for her work on BBC One, BBC Two, and RTÉ One, and she recently launched a weekend breakfast show on Virgin Radio.
Angela began her career as a stylist in Ireland, which eventually led her to television, where she discovered her passion for broadcasting. Her first major documentary, Oi Ginger!, aired on RTÉ in 2014 to critical acclaim, paving the way for a follow-up series, Angela Scanlon: Full Frontal, in 2015, which explored taboo topics such as extreme makeovers, fitness, and nudity.
Since joining the BBC, Angela has hosted several notable programs, including the cult classic Robot Wars alongside Dara O’Brien, the hit interior design show Your Home Made Perfect on BBC Two, Trump’s Unlikely Superfans for BBC Three, and has covered events like T In The Park and the BAFTAs. Last year, she participated in Strictly Come Dancing (similar to America’s Dancing with the Stars) alongside professional partner Carlos Gu, competing with fellow contestants such as Bobby Brazier, Krishnan Guru-Murphy, and Layton Williams. Angela also hosts her own Saturday night chat show, Angela Scanlon’s Ask Me Anything, on RTÉ One.
In addition to her broadcasting achievements, Angela published her first book, Joyrider, in 2022. This work serves as both an empowering guide and a memoir, emphasizing the importance of gratitude in daily life. Angela has also successfully launched her own jewelry brand, FRKL, inspired by her freckles.
