Esme Young's TV career

Esme is a familiar face across the nation thanks to her judging role on The Great British Sewing Bee. She appears alongside fellow judge Patrick Grant on the show, as well as comedian Sara Pascoe, who hosts the programme. 

Speaking about what she loves about filming the series, Esme said in a recent interview: "I loved the new challenges of this series. We turned the sewing room into a gallery in Art Week and I loved it. The Pattern Challenge was inspired by the Modernist movement. And then, they transformed canvases into garments for the Transformation Challenge. It was so 3D because the texture of the canvas was so stiff. It's quite difficult to sew.

"The challenges get more and more difficult, I reckon. There's so many different things you can ask them to do – no one will have made all the things before, will they?" she told Prima. 

Away from the BBC programme, Esme has also featured as a celebrity guest on various reality shows, including House of Games, The Weakest Link, The Wheel, Celebrity Antiques Road Trip and Who Do You Think You Are?.
