Anita Rani: Women are scrutinised more than men

Anita Rani thinks women in the public eye are scrutinised to a "completely different level" to their male counterparts.

The 42-year-old TV presenter believes women, unlike men, are often expected to answer unfair questions about their personal lives.

Asked if women are treated unfairly in the entertainment industry, she said: "Oh completely. Of course, all the time. I think women are scrutinised to a completely different level to men.

"I think there are questions that women in the public eye - women generally - get asked all the time about their personal life that nobody would ever think to ask a man. So yes, definitely."

Anita also insisted she tries not to judge other women, especially as she can\'t always relate to their personal circumstances.

She said: "I try not to be too judgmental because I don\'t have kids. Also, I\'m godmother and aunt and surrounded by children. For me it\'s totally up to the individual about how to bring up their children, no one else.

"My dad is hilarious - he\'s definitely a father of his generation i.e. never changed a single nappy - and he now feels he\'s perfectly placed to give my brother advice of parenting, which we all find very amusing."

Asked if she thinks a perfect parenting philosophy exists, the \'Countryfile\' presenter replied: "No, I don\'t think so. How can it?

"Everyone is just trying to figure it out and I think there are some brilliant, brilliant parents out there. Love is probably key, a lot of love. That\'s probably for me a winning parenting philosophy. Love and bribery."
