DS Icon: Sarah Greene

Published Friday, Jun 5 2009, 06:00 BST | By Alex Fletcher
When you're busy reading Phillip 'The Schofe' Schofield's latest Twittering about his second wind of showbiz fame and daily activities on This Morning and Dancing On Ice, spare a thought for dear old Sarah Greene. The grand old dame of Saturday morning children's TV broadcasting barely gets a look in when it comes to TV work these days, as Myleene Klass and Fearne Cotton lap up all the work, and she's even had the misfortune of being linked to an urban myth about a rugby team and pool table at a University in Hull.

Greene, whose distinguished early career included jobs on Blue Peter, Saturday Superstore and most famously Going Live!, could pretty much turn her hand to anything and even managed to make Nescafé coffee sexy in an early '90s ad campaign. It is rumoured that Green and husband Mike Smith turned down the This Morning job before Richard & Judy took it on, and her career over recent years has taken a nosedive. It was particularly gruelling for fans to see her competing with the likes of Steve Backley and Samantha Mumba on Dancing On Ice. When she left the show in the first week - and judge Jason Gardiner described her skating style as looking like "a disabled pensioner" - for many, it was too much to take.
