Anne "Anneka" Rice (born 4 October 1958) is a British television presenter.
Rice was born in Cowbridge, Vale of Glamorgan, Wales.
She was educated at three independent schools: at Dunrobin School, Limpsfield, Surrey; St Michael's Surrey; Croydon High School.
She changed her name to Anneka when she joined the British actors' union Equity, as her birth-name had already been registered with that organisation.
Rice began her TV career as a trainee for the BBC World Service. At the age of 19 she moved to Hong Kong, where she presented the news on English language television station TVB Pearl. Upon returning to the UK three years later, she worked as a secretary in the BBC Children's department.
In 1983 she landed her first major TV job as the jump-suited "skyrunner" of Channel 4's Treasure Hunt, which was hosted by former BBC newsman Kenneth Kendall. The show proved one of Channel 4's most popular programmes and was nominated for a BAFTA in 1986, in the category "Best Light Entertainment Programme". In the same year, Rice was given the "Rear of the Year" award. Rice left Treasure Hunt when she became pregnant in 1988, being replaced by former tennis player Annabel Croft.
oh oh oh
oh oh oh
Hear the echos trough the night
Memory of a lucky night
See reflections of my life
I know I can heal I can heal from the pain inside
Many ways to turn away
But if I'm wrong than the pain will stay
Drive the bitch into the light
I've gotta learn from the pain inside
Love keeps calling my heart
Love keeps calling my heart
I spread my wings and fly away
Fly away from here
Love keeps calling my heart
Love keeps calling my heart
I spread my wings and fly away
Fly away from here
Paid the toll to see the shore
Don' wanna carry this weight no more
See the dark clouds in the sky
I know I can heal I can heal from the pain inside
Cause I don't want this to hurt no more
Time to look for an open door
Drive the bitch into the light
I've gotta deal with the pain inside
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh
Love keeps calling my heart
Love keeps calling my heart
I spread my wings and fly away
Fly away from here
Love keeps calling my heart
Love keeps calling my heart
I spread my wings and fly away
