Meet the presenters

Debbie Greenwood

Debbie's career in broadcasting began back in 1984 with Granada television, where she cut her teeth on regional programmes before joining the BBC's Breakfast Time. Three years later, she met her husband-to-be, Paul Coia, when co-hosting Tricks of the Trade for BBC2. Together they've worked on many projects since, including BBC1's Garden Party, ITV's Heaven Knows and LBC's The Weekend Breakfast Show. Debbie's still a regular voice on London's LBC radio, reviewing newspapers and stepping in for presenters when they're away. After joining QVC in April 2001, Debbie's become one of the most popular presenters, although she still claims not to have mastered the complexities of the QVC ruler!

A tabby cat called Molly.

What do you enjoy doing?

I love going to the gym, watching movies and eating out.

What's your idea of a perfect weekend?

Obviously not working! I'd begin my weekend with a take-away and bottle of Arryston Bay, watching Gardener's World and Desperate Housewives. Saturday would involve of shopping and dinner out with my lovely husband. And Sunday, while the family are at church, I'd stay in bed a little longer reading The Sunday Times. After a bit of relaxing, I'd prepare the chicken and vegetables before meeting my family in Starbucks for coffee. When we get home, roast dinner would be served. Mustn't forget to snooze - a snooze on Sunday after dinner is an absolute must!

What can't you live without?

Tea and chunky Kit Kats; the two work together!

What's been your silliest moment at QVC?

I don't know about the silliest, but I have a weirdest. For my 5th anniversary show, QVC sent a crew to interview my mum and dad; seeing them on screen was very strange!

Tell me 3 things you'd take with you to a desert island

My husband, a radio and a chef; preferably Jean Christophe Novelli.

Tell us a joke
