When she was told that the show looked the same as when it first aired on television, she replied: [we have just taken].. I was horrified. “
But she added:But the problem is that I don’t really feel any difference. “
She said she believed that the people currently working on television grew up watching the show as to why the program was restarted.
“I think the people who are making TV shows now remember that,” she explained.
They were children at the time. Now they have power. Commissioners for all these channels grew up on the challenge.

Talking about aging as a woman, she said again that she feels the same as she did thirty years ago, but “probably more about what we look like or how we deal with it. There may be conversations, but for men, they just get and keep going, and their image and brand aren’t compromised. ”
When he told PA News about the resurgence of the program, Anneka added:I can’t believe this is actually happening. Over the last few years, we’ve shown all the power of the community and how good it is to be part of something bigger than ourselves.
“The entire team is still motivated to make a difference and spotlight the people and organizations in need.
“Thirty years later, the problems may look different, but at the heart of them are the same. They are about people and communities.
“We may look a little different, but our hearts and the willingness to get stuck are the same.”
Challenge Anneka will soon be on Channel 5.
