Born Catherine Deeley in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham, England Cat used to be a bit of a tomboy and was mainly into hanging out with her younger brother Max. That was until she entered a regional BBC competition called The Clothes Show. Sexy Cat got through to the final round where she was spotted by an agent from Storm model agency. Storm wanted her to sign up full time as a model but Cat was determined to put her studies first and consequently got 9 GCSEs at grade A and 4 A level passes. Cat then took up the offer of modelling full time and managed to travel the world. She then decided she would like to get into TV not just as a good looking presenter which she undoubtedly is but as someone with a bit more of a quirky personality. Her videotape she submitted for audition for a VJ position on ITV was good but it was a prank she pulled on Ant and Dec her co-presenters that really got their attention and she was subsequently signed up. Cat also presented the hugely successful Saturday Morning TV Show along with Ant and Dec from 1998-2002.
