‘It isn’t all glamour.’ That’s what I spend a lot of my time telling people when they say they admire my job.. I feel like it’s a justification, perhaps even a guilty reaction for having a career that I love.
Well, truth is it isn’t ALWAYSÂ glamourous. Sometimes (*often) you’re up at 3am to fly, present a show, or (involuntarily) due to jet lag! And, juggling a lot of different roles can be tough too!
However, for the first time ever, I’m inviting you behind the scenes on a day at the HSN studios in Florida, so you can see all the moving parts that go into just a handful of floral minutes! Then, judge for yourself if it’s glamorous or not! Enjoy the slideshow!
-
- The basic motto of HSN is ‘It’s fun here’, which is expressed to viewers and employees!
-
- From the entrance area to the green rooms is one big long corridor, which you’ll walk after a show, either happy or sad…
-
- I love the innovative posters HSN have up around the studio, shame viewers never see them!
-
- It’s hard to imagine these studios become such riots of colour!
-
- There is every prop known to man in the warehouse area!
-
- I wonder which celebrities have been here before??
-
- I am always super happy when I get the more secluded green rooms.. sleeping on set… noooo
-
- Being in the Floridian sun is kinda lovely, and relaxing outside is a must!
-
- Hmm, sometimes they make my hair a little too high in the make up department!
-
- Hmm, I am revealing more and more tattoo on air, but not sure America is ready for full arm yet!
-
- One of the quieter sides of the call centre, which is huge!
-
- When I had a last minute nosebleed on air, I had to be rushed to the studio in a golf buggy!
-
- In the USA, my TomTato is called ‘Ketchup and Fries’, and we sold the dream with our set up here!
-
- TV is sometimes smoke and mirrors, here’s our presentation of the Ketchup and Fries plant
-
- Such a pleasure to bring English favourites to American screens!
-
- Lushness alert! The viewers love seeing us do what we recommend, so eating fruits on set is a must!
-
- We try and represent the mix of a product as best we can, and this blend did the job perfectly!
-
- I love meeting new hosts and exploring the rapport!
-
- Sarah was my very first co-host and we had fun with these sweetly fragrant Peonies!
-
- The top shows what the viewer is seeing, the bottom shows what the cameraman will go to next..
-
- The perfect live set up; cut blooms, growing plant, how the plant is delivered, an image of the plant, and a demo!
-
- Geoff brings the Australian accent out in me, here we are gossiping on air!
