Daughter of racehorse owner and Ultima boss Max McNeil.

Somehow suspected she wasnt plucked from an inner city housing estate to be given her big break. This **** industry is tighter than a coat of two paints.

Lots of people come from privileged backgrounds and make their mark because they apply themselves, no less than those from less privileged backgrounds.

Happy to say I cancelled it a while ago, and don't miss it's industry output one jot. She looked better than anyone else they had - possibly not saying that much - but anything beyond that is perhaps open to question? I assume she hasn't been critical of anything, so has probably fitted in nicely.

Busyfool.  An apposite name.

Ella McNeill like most of the idiot WIMMIN on RTV is an utter airhead.  Obviously placed there due to her connections

not really crackers. i aint busy, thats for sure

you didnt note i said she was no good. theres plenty of rubbish on rtv. more male than female. she wasnt 'obviously' placed there because of her old man. she was probably hired because wimmin are favoured

you dont seem to like ladies

She ain't the worst. Not saying much though.

class warrior backtracking

rachel casey didnt get a leg up

nor did herlop

nick luck had a racing background. should he be sneered at?

because someone has a connection to racing, its not axiomatic theyve been shovelled in. only a class hater thinks like that

now go and put two coats of different paint on your melon

I saw her conducting OLBG interviews on you tube with Harry Derham et al in his yard. From memory most of those videos struggled to get 1000 views. They were half decent and competent I thought, but basically producing content that took loads of effort that was getting next to no exposure.

Being born into an affluent and high profile racing family won't give you a job on rtv. But it will be more likely that you'll have confidence, ambition, drive and yes, contacts. Maybe she connected with Harry Derham when he was working for pumpkin.

The reality is that most people accept their lot in life, and don't really try to go outside of their comfort zone. There's much more chance of being successful outside of the norm if you are born to parents also of that disposition. Let's face it, the pool of people with an ambition to be a presenter on a horse racing channel will be very small one. I imagine most people determined to do it, would get there if they had the capability.

Have you seen the WHAM! bio on netflix? I'm not a fan of Netflix content generally, but this was very well produced, all authentic content and input from Ridgeley. They went from absolutely nothing to superstardom as 'Yog' simply didn't want to give up, and obviously in possession of god given talent. Ridgeley readily admits he lucked out and just enjoyed the ride.
