Riley was noted for playing the role of Princess Jean in the CITV Awards 1997. Riley went on then to present the You've Been Framed show from 1998–2002, taking over from the former presenter, Jeremy Beadle and raising viewers figures to more than 13 million at its peak in the process. In 1999, Riley appeared opposite a young Jack P Shepherd in Put Out More Fags and had a cameo role in the music video for When the Going Gets Tough by Boyzone. In 2000, Riley appeared in ITV's Christmas Pantomime Aladdin opposite stars such as Ed Byrne, Patsy Kensit, Julian Clary and Paul Merton and in 2001, Riley appeared in a commercial for Heineken.

Riley's other credits include roles in Fat Friends, The Bill, Waterloo Road (TV series), Holby City, Doctors, the BBC's Afternoon Play series, Having It off and the little seen film Secret Society. On stage, Riley has appeared in fourteen pantomimes (She starred in Aladdin at the Kings Theatre in Portsmouth in the 2009/2010 pantomime season) and in UK tours of The Play What I Wrote, The Vagina Monologues opposite Sharon OsbourneThe Naked Truth, waiting for gateaux and Calendar Girls.
