Who is Martel Maxwell? Meet the new Homes Under the Hammer presenter

The freelance television and radio presenter, journalist and author stepped in to fill Lucy Alexander's shoes after she left in 2016 (and as you may have spotted in her first series, she didn't let the fact that she was pregnant with her third child stop her).

But who is Martell? And where have you seen her before?

Who is Martell Maxwell?

Scottish native Martell Maxwell is a journalist, author, radio and TV presenter with a degree in Law from Edinburgh University and a stellar career in newspapers under her belt.

Where have I seen her before?

Everywhere, really. Martell presents segments on The One Show, steps in for special showbiz slots on ITV's Lorraine, and chances are you'll also have spotted her offering her views on the big entertainment issues on the likes of Daybreak and Sky News.
