TV Career

Hayley Sparkes' s TV journey to success began after completing a BA Hons degree in Fashion Promotions. After several years working in the fashion and beauty industry, Hayley set up what would later become an award winning celebrity PR and Marketing agency.

She also studied make-up and beauty and soon landed a presenting role on ITV This Morning, the most loved morning show in the UK. After her presenting segments on This Morning, Hayley was snapped up by some of the biggest brands in beauty and fashion to present live and digital content.

Following her other passions, Hayley landed a role showcasing properties for Sky Channel and Property TV.

Hayley's ultimate dream was to work as a travel presenter. Her first role was hosting a five part documentary series in Taiwan for travel channel Globetrotter TV. Her travel presenting career quite literally took off and she was soon travelling around the world presenting travel programmes for international channels and filming content for travel industry giants like Jet2 Holidays.

Over the last 15 years, Hayley has appeared regularly on our screens, working as a presenter on the shopping networks Ideal World, QVC and TJC.

Hosting fashion, beauty and lifestyle live shopping shows on ITV, and commenting as a travel expert on a regular prime time series for channel 5.

Modelling

With her girl next door appeal, Hayley has also worked as a model alongside her presenting career. Modelling for brands including Sainsburys, Pour Moi, Silk Fred, Look Again, Liquorish and Very.

Hayley has been a model and brand ambassador for high street and online retailer, Blue Vanilla for the last four years. In her role as ambassador, she connects the brand with industry contacts, celebrities, organises photoshoots and press events, whilst also presenting live TV and online shopping shows.

Travel Business

In the earlier part of her life when Hayley was coping with ill health, she was unable to travel. Being able to see the world now means so much to her and is something she will never take for granted.

In 2023, Hayley and her close friend Laura Hamilton (fellow TV presenter) became brand ambassadors for the award winning travel company- The Travel Franchise / Not Just Travel. After being blown away by the business opportunity, Hayley and Laura became travel agents themselves and now have a team of travel experts to help others experience wonderful holidays.

As an industry expert, Hayley regularly appears in the press sharing her story and top travel advice.

Hayley's Personal Story

Whilst now a picture of health, Hayley's childhood told a very different story. Diagnosed at seven with the life threatening bowel disease Ulcerative Colitis, Hayley's quality of life was highly impaired. Eventually the condition left Hayley bedbound, unable to walk a few short steps to her family bathroom without collapsing.

In 1997 the disease had become so severe she was on the brink of death, and woke up in intensive care after life saving surgery. Hayley's journey back to health was a long one, and would require two further major operations and spells in hospital following complications that led into her early twenties.

Once Hayley fully recovered she did not take her new healthy lease of life for granted and has dedicated much of her time to support others struggling with the disease.

By sharing her health story on numerous podcasts and in the national press, she wants to bring hope to other sufferers.

The Pink Ribbon Foundation

The Pink Ribbon Foundation, is an incredible charity that raises money to help those affected by Breast Cancer. Following Hayley's commitment to the charity and organisation of fundraising events, she was asked to become an official ambassador in 2019.

Since this time Hayley has used her industry connections to create brand partnerships with two fashion brands so that money is raised each time items are sold.

She continues to be an active advocate for the charity supporting numerous events and campaigns throughout the year.
