Patricia Gloria "Trisha" Goddard (born 23 December 1957) is a British television presenter and actress best known for her morning talk shows, Trisha, which was broadcast on a mid-morning slot on ITV before later being moved to Channel 5. Goddard has been based in the United States since 2010, when she started working with Maury Povich on his TV series Maury as a "conflict resolution expert." She hosted her own talk show, also named Trisha, in U.S. first-run syndication from 2012 to 2014.
Goddard was born in London, to a black mother from Dominica. Until recently, Goddard wrongly believed that her mother's English husband was her father. In 2008, Goddard had a DNA test to find out her biological paternity, the tests revealed Goddard's DNA as 90 per cent Sub-Saharan and around 10 per cent European. This confirmed that the person who she believed was her father and called 'Dad' had no biological connection with her. She was raised in Tanzania until 1967 and then returned to the United Kingdom.
Goddard was educated at an independent school for expatriates in Tanzania, followed by primary school at Heacham in Norfolk and Sir William Perkins's School in Chertsey, Surrey, at the time a voluntary controlled Church of England girls' grammar school, and which is now an independent school.
Goddard's early career as an air stewardess led to travel writing for magazines and then, after settling in Australia in the mid-1980s, a new career in television. She worked there as a television presenter (most notably on the ABC's The 7.30 Report) and also as a host of the children's program Play School. She was later chairperson of the Australian Government's National Community Advisory Group on Mental Health.
