Sophy Ridge Career

She started as a voice-over artist at the voiceover agency Hobson's International, from the 1990s and 2000s along with Ciara Janson, Louise Michelle, Tom Attenborough, and Will Attenborough.

After graduation in 2006, Ridge was a trainee reporter at the now defunct tabloid newspaper News of the World. After completion of her training programmes she initially worked as a consumer affairs correspondent in 2009. She then gained a job as a political correspondent on Sky News in 2011.

During her time there she covered a broad range of political stories and travelled with the Prime Minister to Afghanistan, New York and Brazil. She was based in Colorado for the channel's coverage of the US elections and was known for her round the clock broadcasting at the annual party conferences.

Ridge covered the 2015 general election as a senior political correspondent for Sky News, reporting on the Labour Party's campaign and conducting interviews with party members. Her exclusives during this time included Ed Miliband's resignation as leader of the Labour Party following the result of that general election and Jeremy Corbyn's victory in the subsequent Labour Party leadership election.

In 2017 Ridge became the host of her own show, Sophy Ridge on Sunday. In the same year Ridge released her first book The Women Who Shaped Politics, a non-fiction book which discussed women's contribution to British politics. She also started writing a weekly column in the tabloid newspaper Metro.

After Mr Hester said he was 'deeply sorry', the PM's spokesperson condemned remarks made allegedly by Frank Hester (left), CEO of healthcare technology company The Phoenix Partnership (TPP), on MP Diane Abbott (right) in 2019, adding that his regrets should be acknowledged. But new claims have been raised regarding Hester's behaviour after he was reported to have said in 2019 that watching Ms Abbott on television made him "want to hate all black women" and that "he should be shot." After allegations of bigotry were raised, he is accused of gathering 'foreign' workers for another meeting in 2019 before asking if there was "no space for Indians" in the room and suggesting that they could'climb on the roof, as on the roof of the train'.

In another live on air gif, Moment Sky's Sophy Ridge mistakenly calls Lee Anderson a "p****" as she addressed his defection from the Reform party

When addressing the controversial MP, who appeared on the news channel's Politics Hub with Sophy Ridge last night, the host mistakenly substituted the word "bricks" for the swear word 'p***s." 'Tonight, one of the Conservative Party's most popular MPs from the start of the year, Lee Anderson, has defected to Reform Britain,' she said. He is one of the last p***s,' and at this point she made a small laugh before going on - 'of the so-called Tory red wall to crumble away.' She did not know the mistake.' It's not the first time Ridge has been left red-faced by an on-air blunder, with 39-year-old one of many presenters mistakenly calling Jeremy Hunt a 'c***'.
