 Wendy Turner Webster began he television career at ‘Live TV’ working as a news reporter for the sports desk and fashion desk and later hosting her own shows; Videobox (film reviews) and Revelations with Nina (psychic phone-in). Before TV Wendy worked for 5 years in commercial radio, writing and producing commercial scripts and fronting on-air features such as film, travel and book reviews. She also wrote for magazines including OK! and Honda Pride.

Her passion for animal welfare made her an obvious choice to host Channel 4’s prime time show ‘Absolutely Animals’; a hard hitting investigative format which was filmed worldwide. This show was a fore-runner to ‘Pet Rescue’ which Wendy hosted for 7 years. ‘Pet Rescue’ went out daily and was consistently one of the highest rated daytime shows across all channels. Spin-offs from ‘Pet Rescue’ were ‘The Pet Rescue Roadshow’ and ‘Family Pet Rescue.’  Wendy’s other TV successes include the BBC1 Saturday night series ‘Your Kids Are In Charge’, which she presented along with her sister, Anthea. Wendy also presented several episodes of ‘The Last Word’, a late-night debate show for Central and filmed 60 episodes of the hit children’s show ‘You Do Too’ for Nickelodeon. She also took part in the major BBC documentary about domestic violence, ‘Hitting Home’.  In November 2014, Wendy co-produced and co-presented a new series, ‘Crafty Beggars’, with her then business partner, Julie Peasgood which aired on Discovery’s TLC, where in each episode two couples hit the town with a meagre £20 budget and a box of basic craft essentials – in order to beg, buy and borrow the items they need to make ingenious crafty creations.

Wendy published a novel in collaboration with the charity Refuge entitled ‘The End of Emily West’ – a story based upon her own experiences of domestic violence during her first marriage. Her children’s books, ‘Underneath the Underground’ and ‘Further Tales’ were published by The Book Guild and Penguin Paperbacks. Her cookery book, ‘The Absolutely Animal Free Cook Book’ was also published by The Book Guild. She has just completed a thriller entitled ‘Burnt Wood Farm’ as well as a children’s novel, ‘A Sky Full of Scaffolding’.  Her pantomime credits include Cinderella, Goldilocks, Robin Hood and Aladdin. It was whilst playing Maid Marion that Wendy fell in love with her Robin Hood, actor Gary Webster. They married in 1999 and have two boys, Jack and Freddie.
