Biography

The Danish-British star, a long-term member of the union, is a well-known broadcaster, actor, comedienne, novelist, and producer, familiar to audiences for fronting shows including "QI", "The Great British Bake Off", and "15 to 1". Her writing credits span theatre, TV, and radio, and she has written more than 20 fiction and nonfiction books for children and adults. In 2019 her adaptation of "Mamma Mia! The Party" will open at London's 02.

Toksvig's experience as a political activist and long-time champion for gender equality, including co-founding the Women's Equality Party, stands her in good stead to continue to build on the union's legacy of campaigning for equality and diversity.
