Jenni Falconer new lottery show presenter

Jenni Falconer will be the new presenter for the live Lotto, Dream Number and Thunderball draws broadcast on BBC television.

Jenni, who is from Glasgow, is already a familiar face on our television screens. As the anchor of GMTV's Entertainment Today show, she has interviewed a number of Hollywood celebrities, including Nicole Kidman, Clint Eastwood and Jennifer Lopez.

She has also presented Holiday for the BBC and We Can Work It Out for ITV. Most recently she was the champion of the BBC One show Only Fools On Horses, which was organised in aid of Sport Relief.

Jenni will make her first appearance for the National Lottery on September 23rd when she will appear on the celebratory extravaganza Everyone's A Winner, which is to be hosted by Noel Edmonds.

As well as presenting the live draws for the National Lottery, Jenni will be on our screens as the draw presenter for the new National Lottery game show 1 vs 100, to be hosted by Dermot O'Leary.

And as if all of that wasn't enough, Jenni will soon be seen as the character "Jenny" in a movie called Ecstasy, which is the follow-up to the film Trainspotting.

"I am absolutely thrilled to be the new National Lottery draw presenter and to be involved in what promises to be a really spectacular show to celebrate National Lottery Day," Jenni says.

"Having enjoyed the winning experience myself recently, with Only Fools On Horses, I'm extremely excited to be involved in a show which is all about creating winners."

Martyn Fox, who is Head of Broadcasting for Camelot, commented: "We are delighted that Jenni is to present The National Lottery draws. Jenni is a highly talented and experienced presenter and already has a huge following. We are sure that she will herself be a 'super draw' for National Lottery show viewers."
