Anneka’s experience spans mainly animal welfare, wildlife conservation, holiday and travel destinations, with a spot of movie expertise. Anneka has spent a lifetime working with animals, due to her preliminary education as a Vet. Anneka also has a degree in film studies and a 2 year Channel 5 movie show under her belt.

Her experience spans Greenpeace, The RSPCA, Battersea Dogs Home, The World Society for the Protection of Animals, VIVA and The World Parrot Trust. Anneka is patron to the WSPA and VIVA and has spoken at conventions alongside Paul McCartney, Joanna Lumley, Jerome and Martin Shaw and Wendy Turner Webster, as well as appearing on corporate videos for the charities.

Anneka is also an experienced scuba diver and lifeguard, and has combined her love of travel and the depths to research her love for marine animals and tropical plants in exotic locations.

Anneka's mother's partner Ben Metcalfe, now sadly deceased, founded Greenpeace and Anneka's lust for adventure is a direct result for her 'admiration' for such an amazing, world-changing individual, as well as growing up surrounded by a multitude of adopted sick and injured animals.

Anneka is also an established tropical gardening expert and has cultivated her very own ‘Eden’ in the back of her London garden consisting of tropical palms, giant bamboos, New Zealand tree ferns and giant Gunnera rhubarb plants.

Presenting credits include outTHERE, movie premiere presenter for The Granada Popcorn movie website, spoof comedy presenter in ‘Ron in the UK’, presenter on Movie Café, Hostess on the Generation Game, guest presenter on the computer Channel, guest on the Big Breakfast, comedy voice on various radio stations, roving club presenter for ‘Clubavision’ and live presenter and co-host for the 2004 Wag and Bone Dog Show.

Anneka has interviewed an array of celebrities for Granada, including Penelope Cruz, Graham Norton, Michael Portillo and Nicolas Cage.

When Anneka is not filming, she is very much central to the London social scene. A celebrity in her own right, she regularly graces the pages of top magazines such as OK, Heat, Loaded and Tatler. During the daytime, Anneka heavily campaigns for several animal charities and immerses herself in animal care.

Anneka is comical and compassionate. Tonnes of life, laughs and personality, with a heart of gold. She is the best choice if you would like some energy injected into a show or need an animal presenter prepared to get very practical and ‘hands-on’ with wild-life.

Anneka will swim with sharks with a smile on her face and grab hold of bat dung with a cheery expression, travel through the rainforest, while telling you the latest jokes and get bitten by Triggerfish, because it may frighten them if she doesn’t keep still. Anneka is always up for a challenge and will try ‘anything’, as long as it doesn’t require eating fluffy creatures!!! Anneka is sure to entertain with her comedy, voices and impressions along the way.
