Meet The Gadget Show's Pollyanna Woodward

Pollyanna Woodward is the newest member of Channel 5’s The Gadget Show.

The former Miss England (Yes she is gorgeous) and Popstars the Rivals finalist (AND talented) boasts a wealth of tech know-how having presented The Gadget Show’s Web TV content prior to landing a spot on the show.

 (Which means that she has beauty AND brains. Not fair)

 She has well over 40,000 Twitter followers tuning in for her views on the latest gadgets and tech breakthroughs, as well as to check out her gorgeous photos, of that im sure!

This lady is so good at what she does that she has been nominated in the T3 Gadget Awards 2011 in the Gadget Personality of the Year category alongside her Gadget Show colleagues, Mark Zuckerberg and Lady Gaga.

This girl is one smart, gorgeous, cookie and I caught up with her for a chin wag.

What is your favourite beauty brand?

I have 2 brands whose products suit me really well and have done for years, that’s Clinique and L’Oreal, though I’m finding other new brands all the time that are bringing out some great products too

When do you feel most beautiful?

When I’ve had a good nights sleep and wake up with my skin looking healthy and hydrated

Do you have a beauty Icon?

Not really, i see just as many beautiful women in the street as i do in magazines that inspire me, many women on the street wear less make up but wear it well, and can look absolutely breathtaking, sometimes less is more it enhances you’re natural beauty.

As a high profile star, do you feel pressure from the media to look ‘perfect’

I’m very lucky the job i do is action based and out on location, so i don’t feel as much pressure to always look perfect, the two just do not go hand in hand, however i love surprising the media when i turn up to an event dressed up with full make up, its the complete opposite to what people normally see, and i love having that contrast and versatility.

Can you share with us one of your trade secret beauty tips?

For a natural healthy glow without carrying too many products, use a warm tone highlighter like the NARS one i own, i use it to highlight my cheeks, add a bit of colour on my eyelids and a lip tint, with room left in my bag for my phone, cards and lipgloss.

What was the best piece of beauty advice you have ever been given?

Always take your make up off and moisturise daily, i live by that now regardless of how late a night i have or how tired i am, its a must your skin needs feeding too.

What does ‘Beauty’ mean to you?

Happiness, acceptance and contentment. If you’re beautiful on the inside it’ll radiate on the outside
