Life and career
Millard was the arts correspondent for the BBC between 1995 and 2004.
On 20 June 2014 BBC News announced that Millard was to be appointed the role of chairwoman of the company running Hull's UK City of Culture activities in 2017. Having arrived at the University of Hull more than 30 years ago to study for a degree in English and Drama, arts specialist Millard maintains close links with the city.
The first article Millard wrote for a national newspaper was about the Humber Bridge; she was live on ITV’s breakfast show to support Hull when the City of Culture 2017 announcement was made; and her article in celebration of Hull published in the Daily Telegraph on the same day highlighted the beauty of a city “on the edge of the earth” and on the cusp of cultural, social and economic change.
As a student reading English and Drama at the University of Hull in the mid-1980s, Millard worked on arts engagement projects that took theatre to Bransholme council housing estate and the Edinburgh Festival. She continues to be a passionate believer in the importance of accessibility to the arts for all and, over the past 15 years, has served as a trustee on regional arts boards in Dunfermline, London and Oxford.
Millard is in Hull every week on City of Culture business and of course to support the city’s arts organisations and educational institutions. Millard attended the 50th anniversary celebrations of the University of Hull’s Drama department; and aimed to inspire the city’s journalists of the future by speaking at Journalism Day 2015 – an annual event organised by Hull School of Art and Design at Hull College, held at Hull Truck Theatre.
Croissants in the Jungle, a 6-part documentary series for the Travel Channel, was made on Millard's journey around the French Overseas Territories with her family.
Millard has also been Arts Editor and Theatre Critic at the New Statesman, a profile writer for The Sunday Times and a writer for the Telegraph.
Radio documentaries Millard has made for Radio 4 include the 2014 series The Move, plus documentaries In Defense of Pushy Parents, Stories from The Squeezed Middle, and Towering Ambition, which analysed why London has skyscrapers but Paris has none. Millard is a regular guest on Five Live talk shows and Jeremy Vine on Radio 2.
Millard does newspaper reviewing for news programmes on Sky or ITV, and occasionally appears on Newsnight or equivalent programmes to discuss topical issues, usually cultural or lifestyle. Millard appears frequently on television live debates. Millard co-produced a documentary in the 2014 Perspectives season for ITV1, Kick Out The Jams, which was presented by Gary Kemp and looked at the legacy of the Young British Artists.
