Speaking ahead of the farmer's exit from The One Show, Konnie didn't rule out presenting alongside her friend and former colleague."I love presenting anything with Matt because we have such natural rapport and chemistry," she said.Konnie previously told The Daily Star that she thinks her ethnicity was part of the reason the BBC show hired her in 1997."When I startd out in television 20 years ago, being Asian probably helped because the BBC had to be PC and get ethnic minorities in," she explained.She also revealed that being on children's TV saved her from racial abuse, saying it made her "a much harder target".Since her departure, the ex-BBC host went on to write a children's book and has also appeared on numerous Comic Relief shows.Konnie.
