In the Eighties, Liverpool-born Margi Clarke looked set to follow a career in music. The lead singer of various punk bands, she once supported Adam And The Ants. After starting out as a presenter for Granada, she moved into acting with a role in Channel 4 soap Brookside, before finding recognition in 1985 with a role in cult British film Letter To Brezhnev, widely regarded as one of the most important British films of all time, which went on to become a huge international hit. She has appeared in several films, including The Boys From County Clare and 24 Hour Party People. Her small-screen acting credits include playing Tyrone Dobb's mum in Coronation Street, Queenie in Making Out as well as parts in Casualty, Family Affairs and Benidorm. She's also continued to present programmes including the late night ITV show The Good Sex Guide which gained unheard-of audience figures of 13 million for a show that aired at 10.35pm and  won the RTS Awards for Best Female Presenter. Margi was subsequently offered  her own daytime show, Swank, which ran for two series.  A regular guest on The Word, Margi also appeared in the 2011 series of Celebrity Master Chef.
