Back to DJ Adele Roberts joins judging panel for Lorraine’s Woman of the Year
DJ Adele Roberts has been named as one of the judges for this year’s Woman of the Year Awards on Lorraine.
Presenter Ria Hebden and newsreader Julie Etchingham will also join Lorraine Kelly on the judging panel, where the Lorraine show award is for Trailblazer, in honour of Dame Deborah James.
Lorraine says, “We want to hear about the women in your life who deserve recognition for being trailblazers. We’re looking for somebody who’s worked tirelessly, taken risks and broken down barriers to make a real difference to a cause or a project within their community or beyond. Whether they’re a family member, colleague or friend, now is the time to get in touch and tell us all about them.”
Previous finalists include Leanne Pero, founder of Black Women Rising, a cancer support project, and Yasmin Geddes, who set up suicide prevention and mental health awareness project The Zachary Geddis Break The Silence Trust, after her brother took his own life.
There’s still time to nominate who YOU think should be recognised, with the deadline of Thursday 14 July for applications. For more details on how to nominate your trailblazer of the year, visit itv.com/lorraine
