Anna Nolan (born 16 October, 1970) is an Irish television presenter. She came to prominence in 2000 when she was the first runner up in the first series of the British reality show Big Brother. At the time she described herself as "an easy going, gay, game for a laugh ex-novice nun, kinky, devilish and dirty deep down, gentle and kind to boot!". She said on Big Brother she was forced to come out as a lesbian to her parents when her grandma caught Anna and her girlfriend Tania kissing in the park[1]. Since then she has presented a number of television programmes, in both Ireland and the UK, and most recently hosted The Afternoon Show on RTÉ One, along with Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh. She announced in August 2006 that she would not be renewing her contract for the third series. She was replaced with first-season host (who was not present in season 2) Sheana Keane. In August 2006 Anna was a presenter on the BBC programme Inside Out when the BBC North East and Cumbria crew filmed Anomalous Phenomena Investigations of Newcastle upon Tyne conducting a paranormal investigation at Hurworth Grange Community Centre in Hurworth-on-Tees. The show aired on 30 October 2006.
