A DYNAMIC TV AND RADIO PRESENTER
BIOGRAPHY
Dynamic TV and radio presenter Katy Hill is one of the UK's most sought-after talents with a range of expertise running from live performance and location shoots to studio broadcast. She has instant recognition, a BAFTA Best Presenter Award, over 2,000 hours of live broadcasting to her name and an enviable fan base. Katy is comfortable working on TV and radio and maintains a sparkling freshness that underpins an excellent professional reputation.
Katy became a household name in the UK fronting the magazine show Blue Peter for the BBC. On her final show, the BBC received a record response from viewers voting to see their favourite Katy clip. She then went on to host further shows for the channel, including Best Inventions (which was so successful it got picked up in the States as ABC's American Inventor), Top of the Pops, Live & Kicking and Football Fever. Her love of globetrotting - whether in a luxury hotel or a Mongolian yurt out on the plains with no running water or toilet - made her an ideal choice to host the BBC's Holiday. Katy became the first woman ever to front a UK Network Radio Chart Show when she took over on the UK's biggest - Hit 40 UK. She quickly became renowned for her relaxed interview technique and getting the best out of the biggest stars due to her down to earth, frank and warm approach.
Her ease with celebrity interviews is evident - whether chatting with Prime Minister Tony Blair, talking music with Usher, or life, loves and influences with Jim Carey. From red carpet, to junkets, to interviews in stars homes, her warm style brings out the best in celebrities.
Katy has produced and fronted successful shows on Capital Radio, co-hosted strands and topics of debate with Lorraine Kelly on GMTV's LKToday, sailed around the UK playing cupid for Deck Dates and fronted the Olympia Horse Trials for Eurosport.
Katy is someone producers know they can depend on, which is why she's been chosen to anchor many events of a sensitive nature, including the Tsunami Appeal UK Radio Aid for ITV, backstage at Live 8 and the 2012 Olympic Party in London's Trafalgar Square to a live and world-wide audience.
In fact, she thrives in front of live audiences and has hosted big events such as The Bafta's and Party in the Park to an audience of 200,000 in London's Hyde Park and millions of TV viewers.
Katy's reputation as someone who will "have a go" at anything, started on Blue Peter when she jumped out of planes, became the first civilian to fly a full display with The Red Arrows (and hold onto her breakfast!) and got her Touring Car race licence. She was the star of Channel 4's The Games, emphasizing her love of sport and she has a passion for speed, whether on the ground or in the air. She has flown the Hawk, Harrier and Tornado jets for Tomorrow's World. In fact, there's not much this fearless presenter hasn't faced - and conquered!
Katy continues to be the face of "Arm & Hammer - Enamel Care" in their TV advertising campaign.
