Running Loose with Francesca Cumani & Vanessa Ryle25 Aug 2025

Hilarious Holiday Antics, Racing Rants & ITV's Perkiest Presenter

WE'RE BACK! Fresh from a mini summer break, the ladies return for Series 3, Episode 1.

Recording from inside York Racecourse, where Francesca Cumani was hosting York’s Ebor Festival for ITV, herself and Vanessa Ryle return fresher than ever - in an episode you wouldn’t want to miss!

With a new sponsor in tow, Old Gold Racing, on the lips of our dynamic presenter duo this week is a bit of everything.

Francesca updates us on her fun (and busy) week at Goodwood Festival, where she was named ITV’s Perkiest Presenter by a national newspaper after attending a Regency Ball!

Vanessa meanwhile has taken the wheels off once again on her well earned summer holiday to Portugal. Listen to find out how she got on and let’s just say her antics didn't always go down so well with her friends!

In terms of horse racing, the women look at the topic of betting patterns in the industry, stallions and recent racing performances - and there's a new feature called 'All Ryled Up', where Vanessa gets 30 seconds to have her own racing rant.

There’s the usual rabbit holes, like who is most likely to get bunions after being on their feet all on hosting duties (yes, really) - and just time for a quick Question Time, where you find out if they prefer dressing up or dressing down.

All this could only happen on an episode of Running Loose!

Tune in, hold tight, and enjoy the ride.

This episode is sponsored by Old Gold Racing.

An Ollywood TV production.
