Career
Working as a science teacher, she went undercover for the 2005 Channel 4 documentary Undercover Teacher to expose mismanagement as well as the extent of pupils' bad behaviour.[1] For this, she was suspended from teaching for one year by the General Teaching Council with the claim that she had 'breached student trust'.[2] The decision received criticism from various teachers and commentators.[3]
She was a presenter on BBC's Roar, and Sky Television's Ocean Rescue in 2008.[4] In 2010, she joined BBC Look East as a weather presenter.
