  1. Pam Barnes is an industry legend. She is amazing person to work with. Calm, funny, never shouts (ever) and an absolute delight. This award is so well deserved.

  3. She’s a star, one of FremantleMedia’s best since leaving Ten’s The Circle (which she made a great and really competitive morning show in 2010/2011).

    Everyone I’ve seen speak of her, only praises her (Gorgi Coghlan, Grant Denyer)
