Alex Stanger
When not testing the canapé selections of the Cannes film festival – Alex can be found sniffing out news-lines in the usual (and sometimes unusual) places. After helping to set up and present the BBC news channel’s nightly entertainment bulletin E24, Alex is now the main reporter on the brand’s weekend progamme as well as a presenter of the BBC’s showbiz updates.
Alex started her career in radio before moving to BBC3 and Liquid News. She was one of the show’s main reporters and became its LA correspondent for a year before the lure of a ten part documentary series brought her back to the UK. Liquid Assets – were shown on BBC1 and 3. Presented by Alex, these hour long programmes concentrated on stars and their money: how they made it (in the spotlight and financially) and what they did with their fame / cash once they “arrived”.
Alex has worked as a commentator on five news, bbc radio and on various list shows. She has also contributed features to the BBC’s website.
