Yvonne Cobb is an accomplished BBC Food and Lifestyle Deaf Presenter, Celebrity Cook and Deaf role model.

As a broadcaster, cook, and Deaf advocate, she has broken down many barriers and achieved several notable firsts during her career. Yvonne is recognised as the first Deaf cook to appear on popular TV shows, including This Morning (ITV) and Morning Live (BBC One), where she presents cookery demonstrations and promotes the use of British Sign Language (BSL). She has also co-hosted the BBC's See Hear since 2018 and became the first Deaf female reporter on BBC News in 2022.

In addition to her broadcasting work, Yvonne is an award-winning entrepreneur who owns and operates her own cookery business. She utilises BSL to teach cookery and healthy eating skills to people of all ages, both in-person and online. With over 20 years of experience in teaching and assessing BSL, Yvonne also delivers training on various subjects to both Deaf and hearing communities. She has a particular focus on empowering women, raising awareness about the menopause in BSL and tips for a happy and healthy lifestyle and regularly shares reels and tips across her social media accounts.

Outside of her professional life, Yvonne spends a lot of time with her husband and three grown-up children, and enjoys a variety of interests including crafting, decorating, gardening, DIY, travel, cycling, pilates and yoga. Recently, she has developed a passion for cold water swimming, which is extremely invigorating.
