Biography

A weak host can wreck an awards night. The skill of standing on a corporate stage, holding a room of 800 people, running to time and making a sponsor feel looked after is craft, built over years of live broadcasting. Sheree Murphy has been doing it on UK television for more than two decades.

She is best known to British audiences as Tricia Dingle in ITV’s Emmerdale, a role she played across 374 episodes between 1998 and 2004 and which won her the British Soap Award for Best Exit. Her runner-up finish on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! in 2005 moved her into mainstream presenting, with ITV2’s British Soap Awards coverage, the Soapstar Superstar spin-off and a long run as a Loose Women panellist.

The presenting work has continued steadily since. She fronted BBC One’s Yes Chef! across forty episodes, co-hosted Channel 5’s Cowboy Builders, anchored Hits Radio’s Sunday morning show for six years and now reports for BBC’s Morning Live. Off-screen, her commercial work with Pampers, Cow and Gate, Hello Fresh, Birdseye and SMA Nutrition places her squarely in the consumer, family and lifestyle space.

For organisers, that combination matters. She is a recognisable face, a working broadcaster and a host who can run an awards ceremony, moderate a panel or carry an in-conversation interview without needing the room to do the work for her.
