She has presented many TV shows and now presents Living TV’s Most Haunted, the biggest show on satellite TV.

Most haunted is produced by Antix Productions, which Yvette founded with her husband Karl Beattie. They have two children and live in Stockport.
The first thing I do when I wake up is…
go to the loo. Not in bed, of course. I go to the toilet!
Ideally I would spend every day…
at home with my children.
If money was no object I would…
have stables built on my property in Cheshire and have all sorts of horses. Thoroughbreds, Shires, Connemaras, Welsh Cobs, many different breeds.
The greatest gift I ever received was…
a red 1976 Beatle that my husband Karl bought me. I loved that car.
My one piece of advice would be…
always be yourself. Don’t change for anyone or anything.
My first job was…
cleaning toilets at the Deanwater Hotel in Woodford! How very glamorous.
I’m scared of…
ghosts.
I’m excited by…
my husband, Karl. Even to this day, he takes my breath away.
If I could go back in time and do one thing again it would be…
to stand up for myself more on Blue Peter.
I love…
my family, my children, my husband, and my animals on my farm.
I hate…
ramblers, cyclists (especially when they ride two abreast and more), and when you get change back in a shop and the cashier puts the coins on top of the note. I really hate that.
I want…
a black Bentley Coupe. A girl can dream!
You have to read…
Ghost Hunters – A Guide to Investigating the Paranormal by Ciaran O’Keefe and myself. I’m really proud of it and it’s a great read. Basically, the book takes a look at infamous paranormal cases from the past as well as five new investigations carried out by Ciaran and myself, especially for the book. I challenge anyone not to be scared when they read it!
Everyone should listen to…
nostalgic 1940’s music, like Glen Miller. It gets you in the mood!
You must watch…
Most Haunted, of course! We are currently in our eighth series and I can honestly say, it’s the best one yet. We recently had our 100th investigation at Michelham Priory, where it all began five years ago. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine we’ve been doing it this long. And some people said it would never work!?!
If I could be anyone else I would be…
my make-up artist and dear friend, Cath Howe. She owns her own salon in Hazel Grove, currently called Biancos. Soon it will be called Cath Howe Hair Dressing. I’ve always wanted to cut hair and she’s so, so talented!
My ultimate ambition would be…
to own my own television channel. Wouldn’t that be brilliant!?!
My biggest inspiration has been…
my granddad, who is 89, a World War II veteran and a real gentleman. I’m so proud of him and there’s no other man like him on earth.
The first time I fell in love…
was when I saw Karl, my husband. A true love at first sight moment.
My epitaph would be…
she came, she saw, she screamed (and a little bit of wee came out)!
Fur or faux?
Faux, definitely.
Mayonnaise or salad cream?
Mayonnaise.
EastEnders or Coronation Street?
Neither.
Daily Mail or Guardian?
Daily Mail.
Harry or William?
Harry.
United or City?
United.
Brains or beauty?
Brains.
