Sarah Beeny
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sarah Beeny (born 1972) is a British television presenter who is best known for presenting the Channel 4 property shows Property Ladder, Streets Ahead and Britain’s Best Homes.
In 2006 Sarah Beeny presented another Channel 4 programme One Year to Pay Off Your Mortgage.
She has written a number of books to accompany the series and is also the founder of dating website Mysinglefriend. She also writes a weekly column for the Mail on Sunday.
Sarah began her own property developing business with her brother and her husband at the age of 24, which has since been very successful.
She has a cult following, who affectionately refer to her as the "Beeny Lady, or "La Beeny"".[1] This cult following also extends to a fascination with Beeny's breasts, giving her another moniker: Sarah 'Big Boobs' Beeny or 'Booby Ladder'. In an interview with the Daily Mirror newspaper, Sarah gave another explanation for her position as a sex symbol: "Men are attracted to me because I'm bossy and opinionated... Men like that, it's the dominatrix thing. They'd be disappointed if they met me though, I'm not like that in real life. When I get a really nice letter I show my husband and he'll say: 'Oh, but they don't know you, do they?'"[2]
Sarah was brought up near Reading, Berkshire, England. Her father is an architect. Her mother died when Sarah was just 10 years old. She currently lives with her partner of 16 years, husband Graham Swift, an artist, with whom she has two children ("beeny babies"). They have homes in Yorkshire and London.
