Mariella Frostrup

Mariella Frostrup (born 12 November 1962 in Norway) is a UK-based journalist and television presenter, well known on British television and radio, mainly for arts programmes. Her 'gravelly' voice is often used on television commercials and was once voted the sexiest female voice on television; research has found that Frostrup's voice was one of three voices (narrowed from fifty) best suited to contribute to a Post Office Telecoms study resulting in a "perfect female voice".
