ALL ABOUT Vanessa

Born in Nigeria, she moved to Waterford at the age of six, where she began making strides in junior football while living in Direct Provision. She went on to play at the highest level before injuries led to her retirement and the start of her next career in broadcasting. Her energy and humour won her many fans on the Traitors and she brings the same vivacity to her presenting work and content creation, where she sheds light on serious topics, fosters deep conversations and encourages people to be the best version of themselves - whatever their current circumstances. A true one-off in the Irish media landscape, Vanessa's star is on the rise, and just as in sport or on The Traitors, she intends to go to the very top.
