Claire Richards wants to host her own TV quiz show

The 45-year-old singer is best known as a member of pop group Steps alongside Faye Tozer, Lee Latchford-Evans, Lisa Scott-Lee and Ian 'H' Watkins but has made multiple appearances on celebrity editions of shows such as 'Pointless' and 'Mastermind' over the years and is "so obsessed" with quiz programmes that she would like to front her own one day.

She told The Daily Star newspaper: "I'm obsessed with quiz shows after starting off doing one for Marie Curie so maybe I'll have my own show one day. I seem to know a lot about nothing, which comes in handy!"

Meanwhile, the 'One For Sorrow' hitmaker - who got her first taste of presenting when she and bandmate H fronted Saturday morning television together in the early 2000s and in later years hosted a cooking segment on ITV's 'Lorraine' before enjoying a short stint as a regular panellist on 'Loose Women' in 2014 - competed on the 2022 series of 'The Masked Singer' as Knitting but recently revealed that she had "horrendous anxiety" on the set of the show as she suffered symptoms of perimenopause.

She told The Daily Mirror: "This last year has been a weird one. I started getting perimenopause symptoms and I was like, ‘Hold on a second, I don’t like this’. When I was doing The Masked Singer, the anxiety was horrendous. I was having the worst palpitations, pounding through my neck. I didn’t feel I could give it my best at all.

"You kind of feel like you’re shrivelling up from the inside out. It took me a long time to address it. It’s a milestone, isn’t it?"
