The Vanessa Show


The Vanessa Show was a short lived talk show hosted by Vanessa Feltz, which was cancelled due to fake guests. The show scandal of fake guests was exposed by The Mirror newspaper.

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. 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.
