Biography

Former model whose first TV break was on MTV in 1997. She came to more widespread notice the following year when she became co-host of the Saturday morning shows SM:TV Live and CD:UK alongside Ant and Dec. Afterwards, she became ITV's presenter of choice for gala events and also found time to present a show on Capital FM alongside her former MTV colleague Edith Bowman.

Now lives in Los Angeles, where she hosts the top-rated Fox TV show So You Think You Can Dance, and was therefore the natural choice to also front the belated UK version.

On 30th September 2012, after a nine-month courtship, she married her former Fame Academy co-presenter Patrick Kielty, at a ceremony in Rome.

Trivia

She also appeared as the host of Peter Kay's 2008 talent show spoof Britain's Got the Pop Factor and Possibly a New Celebrity Jesus Christ Soapstar Superstar Strictly on Ice.

Cat's not just a pretty face. She got nine A-grades at GCSE and has four A-levels.

She was born in West Bromwich and grew up in the nearby suburbs of northern Birmingham, and accordingly is a supporter of West Bromwich Albion.

Cat is a patron of Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital.

She was named "Britain's Most Orange Celebrity" in a 100% scientifically rigorous 2004 poll to promote a well-known orange-flavoured confectionery product, beating Dale Winton into second place.
