Muriel Young

Born in Bishop Middleham, County Durham Muriel claimed that her whole career came about through two mistakes. Her modeling career began when as a scenic design student in London she was mistaken for a drama student and she got her first television job by turning up at the audition on the wrong day. Through her time in television she's been an announcer, a quiz show host a weather girl ,a producer and a radio disc jockey. and having retired she turned to a new career as an artist which is ideal for someone living in such a scenic area as the Durham Dales. She returned to the North East in about 1988 when her producer husband, Cyril Coke got a job with Yorkshire Television and they took an apartment in Stanhope Castle in County Durham.
