Boxing royalty often comes accompanied by a circus of cameras, but Chris Eubank Sr has long been his own person.

If you’ve ever spent any time on the sofa on a rainy Tuesday afternoon, you’ve watched him.

If you’ve spent any time watching Midlands Today or caught her voice on BBC Radio 4, you’ve probably wondered about the woman behind the desk.
