Edit ProfileCareer
She started her career in journalism as a writer for a local magazine produced by the grocery chain SPAR and went on to write for IPC magazines and appear in the national tabloid newspaper The Sun as an Action Girl. Ingrams switched to broadcasting and became a presenter for the United Biscuits Network, an industrial radio station which broadcast to United Biscuits factories across the United Kingdom. Then in 1974, she joined Capital Radio as a reporter and newsreader. A year later, Capital"s in-house newsroom was closed down and she moved to LBC where she presented phone-in programmes and The Sunday Interview.
After helping to set up the now-defunct commercial radio station for Portsmouth, Radio Victory, Ingrams returned to London and became a long serving presenter of Thames News, often found presenting alongside former ITN anchorman Andrew Gardner.
Ingrams left Thames when the station lost its franchise in December 1992 and worked at Anglia Television and British Sky Broadcasting for short periods before joining London News Radio (a short-lived replacement for LBC) as a presenter in 1994.
