Background
Feltz presented the ITV daytime television chat show, Vanessa, made by Anglia Television before moving to the BBC. A reported £2.7 million deal was made.
Cancellation
In 1999, The Vanessa Show suffered from bad publicity as some guests were alleged to have been actors.[3] Despite her having had no involvement in the booking of guests, Feltz was seen to be at fault as she knew about it, and the show was cancelled soon after.[3]
