Denise Nurse is a familiar face to many as the presenter of BBC One's beloved show, Escape to the Country. Since 2007, she's been guiding viewers through picturesque landscapes and charming properties. After taking a nine-year break to focus on family, Denise made a triumphant return to the screen in 2022 and is set to grace our screens once again on Friday, 19 April, helping a new crop of buyers search for their dream home in Norfolk.
But Escape to the Country is not the only show where you may have seen Denise. She has also presented the weather for Sky News, including live broadcasts from Glastonbury, and served as a travel presenter for Sky Travel, both on location and in the studio. Before making her mark on television, Denise carved out a successful career as a solicitor.
In an interview with The Lawyer, she revealed, "I first got interested in law when I was about 14. I enjoyed English and history at school, and I was on the debating club, usually as the chairperson. I liked to win! "And I also liked novels about the legal process and TV dramas – LA Law, quite frankly.
The legal arguments, the idea of winning a case – I liked all that." Denise's journey to television stardom began with a pivotal moment in 2003 when she entered the Sky Talent competition, where she worked at the time as an in-house commercial lawyer.
She shared in the interview: “I made it through to the top 10. As a prize we were sent to the National TV and Film School for a week and got training. We all came out with a show reel and everyone in the company voted for their favourite.
