Countryfile presenter Anita Rani has opened up about how the racism she has experienced during her career can be “frustrating”.

The 42-year-old TV star said ­incidents happened “all the time” including “people thinking it’s OK to imitate an Indian accent in front of me”.

She said: “Things have happened at work too. Ask any ethnic, black or Asian person who works in any big industry – we know we have to work a bit harder. “I’ve had to prove myself a lot more than others and it’s frustrating, but it’s not just about race.
