Konnie Huq Facts

Huq’s father expected her to marry a Muslim boy but she married a British broadcaster.

Out of the three sisters, Konnie is the only one not to have an arranged marriage.

Konnie was born to Sunni Muslim Bangladeshi parents.

She presented the children’s TV program Blue Peter for just more than 10 years and became the longest-serving female presenter of Blue Peter.

She is Simon Cowell‘s favorite TV presenter.

In less than a minute, Konnie pinned 17 Blue Peter badges on Andy Akinwolere’s shirt, which is a Guinness World Record.

In 1992, when she was still in school, she appeared in the game show Blockbusters as a contestant with her friend Sarah. The duo got eliminated in the 2nd episode.

Konnie also received an offer from Playboy and Loaded to pose topless for £500,000 in the past. She turned down the offer due to her family’s religious background.

Konnie replaced Holly Willoughby in the seventh series of ITV2’s The Xtra Factor.

When she was leaving Blue Peter in early 2008, she naively said that she want to do adult TV and in a short span of time, she was flooded with lots of offers.

She has also authored many books including Cookie and the Most Annoying Boy in the World, Cookie and the Most Annoying Girl in the World, and Fearless Fairy Tales.
