Helen spent a lot of years in the theatre and has always loved performing. She says that being on the radio is just as much a performance as being on the stage except not so much make-up! In fact she has recently celebrated her 25th anniversary with HRB, receiving a Long Service Certificate from The Hospital Broadcasting Association.

She loves walking and her friend has a Border Collie called Charlie who gets the benefit of this because on fine days Helen take him out for four mile walk and everyone thinks he's her dog. On wet days he belongs to her friends!

Helen loves having her friends round for meals - she says there's nothing better than good food, good wine and good company.

In fact she has friends all over the world, so it’s easy for her to decide where to go for a holiday. Hong Kong, Hawaii, New York and Rome are just a few of the places she's visited but do you know where she likes the most? Yes, you’ve guessed it ... home!
