Rebecca Tadman
Rebecca is now returning for her sixth series of VEE-TV – and her enthusiasm for being the ‘deaf Davina McCall’ has shown little sign of diminishing. Last time around on VEE-TV saw Rebecca presenting all the way from Australia – but this time around she’s looking to stay a little closer to home.
This series has already seen Rebecca stroking the torso of a dancer in a Big Brovas pop video shoot – something which was keenly noted by an Observer TV critic, no less. She’s also won awards for her work as a co-director, producing a 7-minute short called Bushlympics, which won two awards at the International Deaf Film Festival in Melbourne. Away from VEE-TV, Rebecca works for the Shaw Trust, a charity which helps disabled people find employment.
What has been your favourite thing about VEE-TV so far this year?
It’s got to be the Xtreme Verbier event in Switzerland on programme 5. It was brilliant. Ahmed and I were given this 'extreme' challenge and went airboarding – wicked.
If you had £50 billion to blow on a VEE-TV programme, what would it be about?
Travelling around the world for a year to interview the most famous celebrities in their homes or on their boats like David Beckham, Richard Gere and Kiefer Sutherland - they're gorgeous.
What do you hope the audience gains from VEE-TV?
I hope that VEE-TV gives the audience something to look forward to waking up to and a good start for the rest of the day.
What is the best lie you’ve ever told?
I bluffed my way with a load of rubbish to this chef at the Sydney Opera House to get the assistant chef job. It worked. But I couldn't cook.
Daddy or chips?
No contest - daddy wins.
