Blue Peter legend Katy Hill, who soared to fame in the late 90s, has swapped her TV and radio career for a completely different path. The 53-year-old star graced our screens on the beloved CBBC show from 1995 to 2000, before hopping over to BBC One's Live and Kicking until 2001. Known for her fearless stunts on Blue Peter, she even became the first civilian to fly with the Red Arrows.
Her time on the show paved the way for further opportunities, leading her to host Top of the Pops, Football Fever, BBC's Holiday and her own weekend show on Capital FM. Katy also regularly contributed to glossy mags like Cosmopolitan Hair and Beauty, Hello! and Closer, and it was in 2004 that she bagged second place on Channel 4's The Games. Later in her career, she hosted radio shows for Heart Radio , penned weekly blogs and stepped in as a relief presenter on ITV's Daybreak, reports OK! .
However, these days, Katy is less of a fixture on our telly boxes. as she's now a life coach, having launched her own business. Describing herself as an 'Internationally Certified Success and Confidence Coach', she frequently posts motivational content on social media.
Katy also runs her own newsletter, The Limitless List, which offers inspiring quotes and messages. In addition to her TV career, she also offers programmes, live groups and one-on-one coaching to support her members. Katy's Instagram bio states: "The shy kid who refused to play small and spent 30 years on TV! Now empowering women like YOU to UNLOCK your CONFIDENCE and CLAIM the SUCCESS you deserve!" Katy is happily married to Trey Farley, her former co-host on Live and Kicking.
The pair have been happily married for more than two decades and are parents to two children, Kaya and Akira. In July, Katy and Trey marked their 20th wedding anniversary, with the former TV presenter posting a heartfelt tribute to her spouse on social media. She uploaded pictures from their wedding day and wrote: "20 Years of US! 20 Years of Mr and Mrs Farley! What a ride we're on @rocaflix .
.. nobody else I'd rather be doing LIFE with! Happy 20 babe! Let's make more amazing memories! X (Ours was the Hans Zimmer version - obvs! )".
Before tying the knot with Trey, Katy was previously married to her childhood love, Andrew Frampton. They got hitched in 1999 but parted ways in 2001..
