In August 2008, Selina announced she would sue Five for age discrimination after they rejected her covering Natasha Kaplinsky's maternity leave on the grounds of her being too old.
She won the case in December of that year and was issued with an apology from the network as well as an out-of-court settlement.
Since then Selina has become an active lobbyist against ageism.
