Penelope Jane Smith is an English television presenter and newsreader, best known for her work on the breakfast TV show GMTV.

She has previously worked for Sky News and Classic FM.

Penny has written her first novel 'Coming Up Next'. A comic roller coaster, Coming Up Next is exactly the sort of racy summer read you would expect from the clever, funny, sharp Miss Smith. It is also above-average sexy, stuffed with excruciating puns and a delicious opportunity for guessing on whom the characters are based.
