Leila Williams
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leila Williams (born 1937, in Walsall, England) is a former British beauty queen and television presenter.
In 1957, she was awarded the title of Miss Great Britain; then, a year later, she became the first female Blue Peter presenter, alongside Christopher Trace.
Williams left Blue Peter at the start of 1962, after being made redundant by a newly-appointed producer whom she did not get on with, and went on to appear in such films as Watch Your Stern, Marriage of Convenience and The Beauty Jungle. She also married Fred Mudd, the lead singer of the popular music group The Mudlarks, and ran a pub for many years.
Today, Williams lives in Spain.
