Rustie Lee was a famous TV chef in the 1980s on UK morning show, TV-AM. She was born in Jamaica. According to some sources, Rustie left TV-AM under something of a cloud after allegations of product placement for a well-known brand of table salt. However, she also appeared as a presenter on the second, less successful, incarnation of ITV gameshow Game For A Laugh. See the TV-am website at www.tv-am.org.uk. She was also the subject of a popular joke at the time, involving another celebrity, Jimmy Nail. It would be asked what her name would be after a marriage to Jimmy Nail, with the answer being, Rustie Nail.
She has mostly avoided the spotlight and has rarely been seen since TVAM; though she had a minor career as a singer. In summer 2004 she appeared on Living TV's ' I'm Famous and Frightened! 2 ', a reality show featuring a number of celebrities staying in a castle over a weekend, taking part in various challenges and looking for paranormal activity, guided by a medium. Viewers voted for their favourite and the celebrities were voted off one by one. Rustie won the series showing a keen interest in the tasks and occasional emotional involvement, giving detailed and varied accounts of how she felt at certain points.
In 2004 she joined the UK Independence Party, and was adopted as their candidate for the Wyre Forest constituency in the 2005 general election. She also appeared in the party's election broadcast. On polling day she came fifth, with 1,074 votes (2.3% of the total).
Rusty Lee is also a popular figure on Virgin Radio particularly on the Geoff Lloyd show. He has interviewed her on numerous occasions.

She was the chef/cook on TV AM or something from the early 1980's? A larger than life black lady with an infectious laugh. She was great fun.
