BBC presenter now 'supernanny' after quitting newsreader job
BBC News broadcaster Kate Silverton will reportedly be back on screens, just three years after quitting TV and retraining as a child therapist - and now the skills she's learnt will be put to good use on screen.
The star, who partnered with Aljaz Skorjanec on Strictly back in 2018, will be helping overwhelmed parents regain control in their families as they struggle to adjust to raising kids. The brand new show's format reportedly mimics Channel 4's Supernanny, fronted by Jo Frost - and is tipped to be relatable and hugely popular.
It'll be a totally different venture in comparison to some of her early coverage for the BBC, which saw her report from the frontline of the world's biggest war zones, from Afghanistan to Iraq. A source told The Sun: "[The show] will see her try to help families who are in need of expert advice and won’t mind being filmed while it’s happening.
"Although it’s just a pilot and hasn’t yet been attached to a specific channel, or a streamer, it’s expected to be well received." They also teased: “It may not end up with the title of Supernanny but certainly does sound very much like the cult Channel 4 show.”

The company has reportedly promised to throw struggling parents a "lifeline", courtesy of Kate's new expertise.
