In a nod to the show, Anneka showed off her incredible figure in a navy blue jumpsuit.

She added a belt, which clinched her in at the waist and wore a patterned blue scarf, which she tucked into the collar.

Anneka, 65, wore her blonde hair straight, with a little flick at the end for volume.

She kept her makeup natural, which only added to her ageless beauty.

"Anneka Rice stills looks fit," another simply put, while one viewer added: "What a great interview - lovely to see @AnnekaRice back on our screens

She also said how pleased she was to see more women working in television now, and how when she was working on the show she would often hunt for female talent to join the crew.

Speaking about the new series Anneka told hosts Jermaine Jenas and Lauren Laverne: “I can’t believe this is actually happening. The last few years have shown us all the power of community and how it’s good to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

"Dave the Soundman and I may have 130 years between us but the whole team is as motivated as ever to make a difference and shine a spotlight on people and organisations who need help.
