BBC Radio 2 controller Bob Shennan says Feltz's "zest and passion for life" made the woman once described as looking like "an ageing Italian porn star" the ideal choice
Had a gastric band operation after her weight ballooned to more than 16 stone (224 lbs)
Feltz has a knack for getting people's backs up. She's unapologetic about her tabloid career, prone to mouthing off, forever squeezing herself into clothes intended for someone half her age and size
People who have worked with her are quick to praise her professionalism, energy, wit, warmth and intelligence
Wrote a book of sex tips for women called 'What Are These Strawberries Doing On My Nipples? I Need Them For The Fruit Salad'
