Biography

The elder of two children (she has a younger brother named Max),1 Catherine was born in the Sutton Coldfield area of Birmingham, West Midlands. Deeley attended Grove Vale Infant School in Great Barr, Birmingham, followed by Dartmouth High School in Walsall, where she played the clarinet in the Sandwell Youth Concert Band.

Modeling career

While attending Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls, aged 14 Deeley entered a regional edition of a BBC competition for The Clothes Show, where she made it to the national finals. Spotted by an agent for Storm modeling agency, she was quickly signed as a model under her nickname of Cat to make it easier for clients to re-book her.2

Aged 16 and having gained nine A-grade GCSEs, Storm tried to persuade her to leave school. But cautious Deeley continued her A-Level studies at Bishop Vesey's Grammar School Sixth Form, where she gained four A-levels.2

Aged 18, Deeley became a full time fashion model, making her first television appearance in 1994 as a model on the British TV Series Kilroy.

Deeley left full time modeling in 1997, and became an MTV UK presenter, usually with Edith Bowman.

From 1998 until 2002, she was host with Ant & Dec on the Saturday morning children's program SMTV Live and hosted its spin-off programs CD:UK (1998 -2005) and CD:UK Hotshots. In 2001, she won a Children's BAFTA award for best presenter and appeared in an episode of the BBC's Happiness. In 2002, Deeley appeared in a television advert for Marks and Spencer.

Other programs she hosted include The Record of the Year, Fame Academy, The 2004 BRIT Awards and Stars in Their Eyes, as well as a weekly broadcast on London's Capital FM and BBC Choice series Roadtripping both with former MTV colleague Edith Bowman.
