Rosemarie Ford (born Rosemarie Poundford; 5 March 1962) is an English actress, dancer and television presenter.

Television career

Ford is best known for her stint as the co-host of the BBC 1 game show The Generation Game with Bruce Forsyth from 1990 to 1994. She later hosted Come Dancing, again for the BBC and frequently sang with the orchestra. Coincidentally, Ford's former Generation Game colleague Forsyth was a former presenter of Strictly Come Dancing, the revived celebrity version of the show.

Theatre

Ford worked as a backing singer for Cliff Richard in his "Live and Guaranteed" Tour in 1988 and danced on stage during "Devil Woman". She has appeared in such stage shows as Cats (as Bombalurina and Grizabella) and TIME (as part of Captain Ebony's Retinue).

Other than Cats, she has also appeared in the shows Juke Box, Me And My Girl, Can-Can and Divorce Me, Darling.

Awards

She was a recipient of the Carl Alan Award in 1999, an industry honour voted for by dance professionals.[1]

Personal life

Ford began a long term relationship with actor Robert Lindsay after he left his previous partner Diana Weston for her. The couple have two children, Samuel (born 18 November 1999) and James (born 8 April 2003). The couple married on 31 December 2006.[2] The family's home is in Denham, Buckinghamshire.
