A NINETIES kids’ TV star looks unrecognisable three decades after her glowing telly career.
Emma Ledden was a host on Live and Kicking, but after making a massive career u-turn, she is now a business coach who empowers people to present with confidence.

The brunette beauty, who is in her late forties, shot to fame in the nineties on BBC One‘s Sunday morning children’s television before her departure from the show in 2000.
It ran for eight years from 1993 to 2001 and many of its presenters went on to become household names.
Emma, who is an Irish and lives in Dublin with her husband and two sons, looks unrecognisable from her TV career after becoming a business coach.
Sharing posts about “finding your pink” and “unlocking new confidence”, Emma has over 3,000 followers and aids women in “elevating their impact”.
Last month she shared a post about fame and how it impacted her more than two decades ago.
“Fame isn’t always what it seems,” she penned in the caption alongside six slides of throwback snaps that had lessons written on them.
“From public scrutiny to unexpected lessons, my time in the spotlight taught me so much—about confidence, resilience, and the power of using your voice,” she went on.
“These lessons shaped the way I present today and the conversations I have on Finding Your Pink,” she concluded in the caption.
She then went through the five things she learned, with the first being that “it’s really fun” which was written over a throwback snap.

“It’s a whirlwind of glitz and glamour, until it’s not,” she said.
The second lesson she learned was “the fun is not for free”, noting how “everyone has an opinion” and that “no matter what, there are critics”.
Thirdly, Emma said that “you can’t have a day off” and being in the public eye means “there’s no room for bad days”.
The fourth lesson was that “fame doesn’t make it better”, adding how if you’re insecure or hurting, “fame won’t fix it” and will instead “make it worse”.
And finally, Emma’s fifth lesson was “what matters most is still the same”.
“Fame is fleeting, but real connections, purpose and self-acceptance are what last,” she added.
“Love this Emma,” penned one person underneath the post.
Another added: “Very true Emma!”
While a third said: “Love love this post. Thank you for sharing.”
