191. Sophy Ridge


Listen Later

In this week's episode Rachel sits down with Sophy Ridge, an immensely talented Sky news presenter who achieved great success from early on in her career. She entered Westminster as a reporter for The News of the World at just 24 years old and was given her own Sky News show, Sophy Ridge on Sunday at 32. 

Sophy is not a very difficult woman. Rachel observes that she is ‘more golden retriever than rottweiler’ unlike some political hosts. She is very accustomed to interviewing tricky women however. On the debut episode of Sophy Ridge on Sunday she secured an exclusive interview with Theresa May when she was Prime Minister, a notoriously challenging interviewee. In this episode, Sophy shares how she defied expectations and carved out a dazzling career in journalism whilst remaining warm and sincere throughout.
