Just You has revealed that author, presenter and broadcaster Janet Ellis will act as its travel ambassador.   Janet is a presenter, writer and actress, notably associated for her four years on Blue Peter. Since then, she has presented TV and radio series on a variety of subjects, establishing a reputation as an articulate broadcaster and commentator. More recently, she has become an accomplished author, publishing two fiction books, The Butcher's Hook, and How It Was.   As a travel ambassador, Janet will join Just You tours to experience solo travel and share stories of her journey.   Janet Ellis said: “It is both a pleasure and a privilege to be a travel ambassador for Just You. Not only for the opportunities to see more of the world of course, but it’s also so enjoyable seeing things through the eyes of my fellow travellers - that feels really special. It’s such a treat to meet and get to know like-minded people on a solo tour and to make connections with each other, as we discover, explore, enjoy and share the world around us.”   Adam Kemp, managing director, at Just You said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Janet into the Just You family as a travel ambassador. Her love for discovering new cultures and destinations, as well as her belief that travel can be a force for good, match perfectly with everything we stand for and the experiences we offer our guests.
