She has appeared as a guest on Celebrity Squares, Give Us A Clue, Blankety Blank, Punchlines, several other TV entertainment shows, and the reality show I'm a Celebrity…Get Me out of Here! (2006). She won a TV Times award for 'Funniest Woman on TV' in 1980.[2]

She was the subject of This Is Your Life in 1982 when she was surprised by Eamonn Andrews while appearing as a guest on the ITV entertainment show Game For A Laugh.[3]
