Who was this woman? It's driving me potty.

I saw her at Stansted airport a couple of weeks ago, so no idea what area of the Uk she lives, but I'm pretty sure she's English.

I recognise her from the telly. Probably around 60. Slim. Nice looking. Not a huge household name but definitely recognisable. Auburn hair, collar/shoulder length. It might have been dyed, but I feel she's probably a natural redhead. A bit freckly.

I think she's maybe been in some long running show like Emmerdale or Holby or something like that. But equally she could be a presenter. It's really bugging me that I can't place her.

On the off chance that they may be in the UK filming something,
Julianne Moore?
Debra Messing?
Marcia Cross?
Florence Welch?
Tilda Swinton?
Gillian Anderson??

Think we need a bit more to go on. When were they on telly?

Wheredidyougetthat · 27/07/2024 14:44

Sorry made some suggestions & then saw you had said she was in her 60’s so mine were completely wrong!

BookW1tch · 27/07/2024 14:48

Not the presenter off homes under the hammer is it? She presents something else too, maybe a place in the sun? Just looked her up, her name’s Martel Maxwell
Oops edited to say that she’s nowhere near 60 (must read op properly 🤦🏽‍♀️).

Yvette fielding has just popped into my head! No idea why as I can’t really recall what she looks like…

JMSA · 27/07/2024 15:01

I thought maybe Charlie Dimmock, but you said slim and she appears to have put a lot of weight on over the years.
Me too, so no judgement there!

Harriet Walter?

TwigletsAndRadishes · 27/07/2024 15:14

No, none of the above. Maybe more mid 60s? Don't want to offend her by saying she's older than she is. Blush

And her hair is not an obvious red, more of a dark chestnut colour.

I feel like I haven't seen her in anything recently. I honesly can't say whether she's an actress or some sort of presenter, or 'expert' in something who often appears on TV to talk about it. Not Sarah Jarvis, although she has red hair, before anyone mentions her. It's driving me mad.
