Clare Balding & BBC Sport
Clare is now an established name in BBC sport, winning several awards for her broadcasting work; covering everything from Wimbledon to rugby league. Whilst racing remains her first love, it was arguably her role presenting coverage of the London 2012 Olympics and Paralympics, that propelled her to national treasure status.
Continuing to cover as wide a range of sports as possible, Clare is now a regular on the new BT Sports channel; as well as anchoring Channel 4 Racing.
Not Just Sport
Away from sport, Clare Balding fronts everything from Countryfile and Crufts, to Radio 4’s Rambling. Other credits include appearances on: Have I Got News For You, A Question of Sport and Countdown. She has also written regular columns for the Observer and Sunday Telegraph, as well as the Racing Post.
After dinner, Clare speaks with a wonderfully dry wit; about life in the saddle, run ins with royalty, the dog eat dog world of Crufts and the perils of live TV.
