We’re absolutely delighted to announce that Live We’re absolutely delighted to announce that Liverpool-born actress and television presenter Sunetra Sarker will host the YM Liverpool Property & Business Awards 2026! 🏆

Sunetra’s acting career began in 1988 when, aged just 15, she was spotted at a bus stop and offered the role of Nisha Batra in Channel 4’s iconic Liverpool soap Brookside.

She has since become one of British television’s most recognisable faces, with memorable roles in No Angels, Casualty and Ackley Bridge, alongside her work as a regular panellist on ITV’s Loose Women and appearances on Celebrity Gogglebox and Strictly Come Dancing.

Speaking ahead of the ceremony, Sunetra said:

💬 “Liverpool will always be home to me, no matter where life or work takes me.

“It’s the city that shaped me, gave me my first opportunities and taught me the value of hard work, humour and drive – along with the Scouse born belief to always aim high. I mean, why not?

“So I’m absolutely delighted to be coming home to host the YM Liverpool Property & Business Awards.

“What I love about Liverpool is that behind every successful business, every exciting new development and every big idea, there are people with their own ambition, determination and real pride for their city.

“Liverpool has never been short of big personalities or big dreams, and I can’t wait to celebrate the people turning those dreams into reality.

“I’m looking forward to a brilliant evening with wonderful success stories and, knowing Liverpool, a few laughs along the way!”

⛪ Emerging plans to regenerate the historic Wels ⛪ Emerging plans to regenerate the historic Welsh Church on Princes Road could secure the future of one of Toxteth’s best-known landmarks.

Owner Audsley Holdings has spent around 18 months exploring a viable long-term use for the Grade II-listed building and surrounding site, with proposals now taking shape for its restoration and sensitive adaptation as part of a predominantly residential development.

Also known as the ‘Welsh Church’ or ‘Toxteth Cathedral’, the church dates back to the 1860s and has stood vacant and derelict for decades, suffering extensive weather damage and vandalism.

The emerging scheme would seek to retain and repair one of Liverpool’s most recognisable buildings, with a gym, café and visitor centre celebrating the contribution of the city’s Welsh community also being explored.

A formal pre-application has now been submitted to Liverpool City Council as work continues towards a future planning application.
