It appears that Konnie Huq has been giving property advice to Zoe Salmon, who is now also leaving Blue Peter on June 24th this year.
Zoe has bought a two bedroom flat in a Grade II listed Art deco development near to where Konnie lives in Ealing. The flat also has the benefits of a clubhouse, swimming pool and tennis courts.
Zoe said about Konnie, "She's really into property and knows London much better than I do."
Some people it seems still have faith in the UK property market - despite forecasts that prices could dip by as much as 9% this year.
"What has this got to do with Konnie Huq?" you may ask.
Well I'll tell you.
Konnie can give you a helping hand with those exams. Okay maybe not a hand but at the very least you can look at her tips - exam tips, that is.
Konnie, who is a Cambridge University economics graduate, has got together with Sky Learning. Together they have made a series of interesting videos that may just make exams a little less stressful. There are hints at getting the best out of revision and so on.
See what you think. Below is one of her short videos as an example. If you want more of Konnie's learning videos go to YouTube Sky Learning.
Alternatively you can also find lots of useful stuff at Sky Learning.
Konnie explained more about Sky Learning to us:
"Sky Learning Explorer is a great idea and makes it easy for you to find TV programmes that can help you with your GCSE & A Level studies. Plus you can use it to look for programmes around subjects you are interested in with new subjects like Wildlife and Travel being introduced later this year, along with some Scottish curriculum subjects."
From the HistoryChannel comes this eight minute Konnie Huq video shows her presenting a documentary about Osborne House. Maybe not everyone's cup of tea but it illustrates Konnie spreading her wings to different sorts of television work.
Konnie Huq has been talking about girls and women in schools and the workplace. She reckons that expectations put on women are now very high and sees this as being because women are perceived as more conscientious than men.
Konnie said, "It's a relatively new phenomenon that we have equality and so women often have to live up to that. Only a couple of generations ago women were not present in the workplace and there was no equality."
According to an American study British women feel they have to work harder than men to gain recognition when working.
But sometimes it's nice to just relax with a cuppa and a biscuit!
Konnie Huq has been defending the likes of Chantelle Hayes in Celebs on Sunday magazine. Konnie said,
"When people talk of a 'real career' you think lawyer or teacher. But not everyone wants to do that. So in a way, if your option is stacking shelves or being Chantelle, wouldn’t you take your opportunities when you could? Much in life depends on what you would have done anyway. And as celebrity culture is so skewed towards women’s fashion and appearance, people focus more on these girls. So the blokes from Big Brother fade into oblivion."
And she is right, of course, it's the one opportunity that the likes of Chantelle have to forge some sort of career - and make money. They use their '15 minutes of fame' to full advantage. As for Konnie, she'll be around for much longer.
