Who is Cherry Healey, the host of Find My First Love?
Tonight’s the premiere of FYI’s Find My First Love, a show that’s perfect for all hopeless romantics who wish they could have another chance with someone from their past. It is hosted by Cherry Healey, who has proven she’s willing to talk about uncomfortable topics…
Although Cherry may be best-known to American viewers (or maybe just me) as the Cottonelle bum girl, the British television presenter has quite an impressive resume of work across the pond.
“Cherry’s immersive documentaries began with Drinking with the Girls in 2009. Next, she moved on to Cherry Has a Baby, Cherry Goes Dating and Cherry Gets Married, which were broadcast in September 2010. In April 2011 her documentary exploring all things surrounding breast feeding, Is Breast Best? was broadcast on BBC Three,” FYI says of Cherry. “Cherry’s Dilemma’s on Money, Body Image and Parenting followed in 2011 and played in the UK as well as on ABC in Australia. Cherry’s most recent shows include 2012’s How To Get A Life and Britain’s Favourite Supermarket Foods and It’s Your Move in 2013.”
Together with husband Roly Allen, Cherry has a 5-year-old daughter and 1-year-old son. She regularly writes about motherhood for magazines and is working on a book about what she wants her daughter to know.
“I want my daughter to grow up knowing without question that her value is equal to men, her body is her own and her identity isn’t anchored in how smooth her legs are or how bouncy her hair is,” she said in a recent Instagram post, perhaps offering a sneak peek into the book. “Oh and that she doesn’t work for free from November for doing the same job as a guy.”
Find My First Love featuring Cherry Healey premieres on FYI tonight at 11:15/10:15c.
