Anna Richardson: I Was So Busy Working I Forgot to Have Kids

Anna Richardson has admitted that her relentless career focus left her with regrets about not having children. The presenter, known for shows such as The Big Breakfast, Supersize vs Superskinny, and Naked Attraction, said she was so driven by financial insecurity that she never had the chance to start a family.

Speaking about her career choices, Richardson explained that she took whatever work came her way to pay the mortgage. 'I haven't had the privilege of being able to pick and choose what I want to do,' she said. 'I've done what I've had to to survive.'

The 53-year-old, who works as a freelancer, said she has never felt financially secure despite her long television career. 'Unless you're going to inherit shitloads of money, which I won't, there's always that insecurity. It's why you have to be so driven,' she added.
