Gallacher keen to shed 'cold' image

Kirsty Gallacher has revealed that she is trying to shed her "cold" presenting style.

The 33-year-old TV host, who has fronted Kirsty's Home Videos and Gladiators for Sky1, admitted that she is changing her approach after years of being a "perfectionist" at home and on screen.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, she explained: "Over the past year I've worked hard to relax. Perfection is not a great thing - because you can never reach real perfection.

"I used to take life very seriously. In my presenting, you could see that I came across as quite cold. I'm mellowing now. You find at this age you know what you want to do, you know what suits you, you know what you are. You just grow up."

The star also confirmed that she left Gladiators after audience research suggested that she wasn't "buoyant" enough for the show's younger viewers.

She commented: "I'm not a kids' presenter and I don't want to be! There was no fall-out. It was not the right show for me to carry on with - that's my belief and I'm sure they believed that too."

Gallacher recently announced that she is expecting a second child with lover Paul Sampson.
