Timeline

2010

At the 2010 general election, Righton was the Conservative candidate for the new St Austell and Newquay constituency but lost to the Liberal Democrats.

2009

In October 2009, she was subject to sustained and serious criticism after falsely accusing one of her opponents of publicly insulting her. Righton had sent to a residents' association a tweet from her Liberal Democrat opponent pointing out that she had gone to a media event instead of the association's meeting. The tweet, however, had been modified to add an insult, and Righton wrongly claimed that she was unable to verify the contents of the original.

2006

In January 2006, Righton put herself forward to the Conservative Party as a prospective Member of Parliament. Placed on the party's A-List of female and ethnic minority applicants, it was announced in 2008 that Righton would become the Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for the newly created seat of St Austell and Newquay. As this was a new seat there was no incumbent MP, however, the seat was regarded as having a notional majority of 5,723 (12.44%) to the Liberal Democrats. In the election, Righton came second to Liberal Democrat Steve Gilbert, despite reducing the majority to 1,312 (2.8%).

1999

In 1999, after 14 years away, Righton returned to the West Country after becoming a regional controller for ITV company Carlton under her former TV-am boss Clive Jones. It was from her base in Cornwall in 2003, that Righton started her career as an author, with her first work, The Life Audit, a self-help plan and guide that has become a best-seller in America, Asia and Australia. It has also been translated into Mandarin Chinese, French and Dutch. Righton appeared on national television in the UK and on CBS's Early Show in the United States, while the associated website to the book has members from 25 different countries.

1988

After leaving TV-am she occasionally appeared as a stand-in presenter on other news and Breakfast TV programmes reading the short BBC Daytime bulletins and BBC Breakfast Time bulletins in 1988. Next was BSB, Sky News, ITN and the occasional filling-in on LWT News in 1990. She occasionally presented on The Channel Four Daily, where she was presenter for the last edition of the failed show in 1992. During her time presenting the national news, Caroline presented on-screen with Jeremy Paxman and was a main anchor during the Gulf War. In the '90s, Caroline was the face of Channel Four's Daily Business News.

1985

Righton transferred her skills as a radio presenter to television. She moved to Windsor, Berkshire and started presenting the BBC London regional early morning television show London Plus from 1985–87. In 1987, Righton moved to the already successful ITV breakfast station, TV-am, becoming a national television presenter for the first time, she presented the early part of TV-am before handing over to the main Good Morning Britain show. The on-air promotions at the time said that she was recruited "to get the early rising men tuning in to TV-am's first hour". She joined in April 1987 and left in October the same year. Also at this time, she conducted a series of interviews with heavyweight boxers Frank Bruno and Joe Bugner during the build up to their fight at White Hart Lane in London. These interviews formed the basis of a Video Cassette release (later rereleased on DVD) called Frank Bruno v Joe Bugner: The Final Word.

After presenting the Duchy Today programme with Ted Gundry, Righton became a producer of Radio Cornwall.
