Kate made her debut appearance on screen in 2002 when she was a contestant in series 3 of Big Brother.

Following her Big Brother win, Kate went on to co-host Rise with Iain Lee – Channel 4’s successor to The Big Breakfast – and has appeared in various other shows. These include Celebrity Wrestling, Hole in the Wall, and Celebrity Wipeout. A successful DJ, she has presented on Capital FM and Virgin Radio.

She has been drafted in this week (from May 9th) to host the competitions on Good Morning Britain and Lorraine for Andi Peters while he’s on holiday.
