President of Commonwealth Games England & UK Athletics Hall of Fame Inductee
Broadcaster and Presenter for BBC's Secret Britain and Right on the Money

Dame Denise Lewis DBE is a highly accomplished presenter, broadcaster, former athlete, and President of Commonwealth Games England. As a gold medal-winning heptathlete, Denise holds the second-highest number of points scored by a British heptathlete. Her success on the field has seamlessly transitioned into a dazzling broadcasting career. Denise is widely recognized as one of the "Golden Girls" of British athletics, having won gold at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. In recognition of her achievements, she was inducted into the UK Athletics Hall of Fame in 2011. Denise's contributions to sports have not gone unnoticed, as she has twice been a runner-up in the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year awards, in 1998 and 2000. Her remarkable accomplishments were acknowledged with an OBE in 2000, a Damehood in 2023, and an Honorary Doctorate from Birmingham City University in the same year. Since retiring from athletics, Denise has ventured into various television endeavors. She has provided commentary for high-profile athletic events and hosted shows such as BBC's Secret Britain and Right on the Money. In addition, Denise showcased her skills on ITV's Don't Rock the Boat in November 2020 and The Masked Dancer, where she reached the semi-final in 2022. She also hosts her own Spotify podcast, 'Runtethered with Google'. Furthermore, Denise has served as an activewear and golf brand ambassador for Next since 2021 and has collaborated with numerous other brands, including L'Oréal, Google, Haven, and Purple Bricks. In addition to her professional pursuits, Denise has taken on the role of ambassador and patron for several initiatives, events, and charities.
