Annabel Giles was rarely off the nation's TV screens in the 1980s. The foxy brunette was a permanent fixture on high quality panel shows such as You Bet and Through The Keyhole and was regularly in the papers thanks to her relationship with Ultravox and Band Aid star Midge Ure. Her other small screen credits include work on Loose Women, Going Live! and Pebble Mill At One.
Despite being expelled from school at the age of 16, Giles has plenty of strings to her bow, starting out as a model with Max Factor and more recently working as an author on novels like Birthday Girls and The Defrosting Of Charlotte Small. Perhaps one of Giles's most memorable TV appearances came in 1995 on Noel's House Party, when she famously outwitted host Noel Edmonds during his attempts to give her a Gotcha! However, Edmonds got his revenge, as usual, by gunging her later on in the show.
