Which TV shows does Samantha Kinghorn present?
In 2023, Samantha landed a job as a presenter on BBC's Countryfile.
Speaking about being on the show, she told Ealing Times: "I didn't always think I'd be in sport, so I sometimes struggle with the identity of being an athlete.
"This isn't who I thought I was going to be so to be on television and Countryfile is a side of me that people don't necessarily get to see."
Samantha has also appeared on The One Show.
