1. Can you tell us more about you please?
My name is Elma Godwin. I’m an On-air personality and actress whose work can mostly be seen on SPICE TV where I present the shows ‘Urban SPICE’ and the SPICE Red Carpet Show.

The Red Carpet red carpet report is the place to tune into for the latest red carpet happening. Whether it’s Dolce or Da Silva, London, New York or Lagos, you can be rest assured SPICE TV will be there to bring the world of haute couture to your screens.
