'Wherever you go in the world, there’s always a Glaswegian ready to chat to you' 🥰 JeanJohansson
Scotland
“And it’s funny, but wherever you go in the world, there’s always a Glaswegian ready to chat to you. I remember we visited this beautiful big luxury property on A Place in the Sun, a stunning villa worth about £5m, and when the owner came out, he was chatting away in this broad Glaswegian accent.”She laughs: “It was so lovely. He gave us a look round the place and we’re chatting away so much it all got a bit too colloquial, and I actually had to rein it in a bit.
Jean became a fresh new face of children’s TV when she won a nationwide talent competition in 1999. The prize was a presenting job on UKOOL, a lifestyle programme for 10 to 16-year-olds, which ran until the early Noughties.
“We filmed all over the UK, from Wales to Orkney, and it was actually quite emotional. For some people, finding out this person they didn’t know even existed had left them, was really life-changing. It was very moving.”
