Anneka Rice, 63, dons a hard hat as she films the reboot Challenge Anneka in Teesside

Anneka Rice appeared in good spirits when she filmed the reboot of her famous show Challenge Anneka in Teeside, 30 years after the last episode.

The presenter, 63, looked youthful as she donned a bright orange jacket and black leggings on Tuesday.

She completed the look with a pair of knee-high boots and a helmet while filming on a construction site.

Anneka wore a utility belt that hugged her waist as her blond locks blew in the wind.

The star wore a subtle soft makeup look that showcased her natural beauty.

She could also be seen hopping into a blue buggy car emblazoned with the show’s title as she raced to her next location.

The Channel 5 reboot, set to hit the screens in 2023, aims to tackle the challenges faced by modern Britons and put everyday heroes in the spotlight.

It comes after Anneka explained how she wanted to “raise the flag for women today” with her return to TV.

Hoping the relaunched show will help challenge stereotypes about gender roles on television, just like her original show did for female presenters.

Of Challenge Aneka’s predecessor, Treasure Hunt, she said, “It put a woman’s absolute control at the center of the action that drives the story.

“It has really changed the face of TV and in many ways, and I want to fly the flag for women today.”

She said: ’40 years ago you have to remember where women were placed on television.

“Usually they were either draped over cars as prizes at a quiz game or standing behind a news desk.”

“I feel exactly the same as 30 years ago, but there may be more discussion about what we look like, or how we can handle it, while men just go ahead and do it, and their image and brand remain intact.”

Referring to a project that helped Romanian children on the original show, who are now helping in the Ukrainian crisis, she said, “That absolutely touched me, because it was like one humanitarian crisis spilling over into another 30 years ago.”

Soundman Dave Chapman – who was prominent in the original broadcast – also returns.

Anneka said: ‘I can’t believe this is really happening. The past few years have shown us the power of a community and how good it is to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

“The whole team is as always motivated to make a difference and to put people and organizations in need of help in the spotlight.

It comes after she suffered a nasty blunder at the National Television Awards on Thursday when she announced the wrong winner.

The television personality was tasked with taking the stage and presenting an award in less than three minutes by show host Joel Dommett, ahead of this year’s Challenge Anneka reboot.

But Anneka seemed to jump when she opened the card and blurted out: ‘The 1% Club!’ before she realizes she has to read out the rest of the nominees first.

When she went to the podium, she tried to correct her mistake as she continued to scroll down the list of names.

As the crowd cheered, she quickly added, “No! We’ve got Beat The Chasers, In for a Penny and Michael McIntyre. And the National Television Award goes to…’

“Do you have the sound ready for this?” she said, turning to sound engineer Dave Chapman, before announcing, “It’s going to, Beat The Chasers!”
