Davina McCall (Presenter)
Born: October 16, 1967 in London
Best Known For: Hosting Big Brother.
Early-life: Davina Lucy Pascale McCall was born in London on October 16, 1967, to Florence and Andrew. At the age of three, Davina went to live with her grandparents in Surrey after the break-up of her parents' marriage. She moved in with her father and his new wife in London when she was 13.
Career: Davina started out as a singer (her demo was produced by Eric Clapton) and worked for the Models One agency before securing a presenter's job on Ray Cokes' Most Wanted on MTV Europe. ITV's middle-of-the-night series God's Gift led to the higher profile Streetmate, Don't Try This at Home and Popstars: The Rivals, although she tasted failure with her sitcom Sam's Game, series He's Having a Baby, and her self-titled BBC chat show. She's also fronted Love on a Saturday Night and co-hosted both Sport Relief and Comic Relief. Big Brother remains her biggest hit (she quit after 11 series as host in 2010), but has another hit on her hands with The Million Pound Drop. In August 2013, she began presenting ITV's dancing reality series Stepping Out, and in January 2014 began co-hosting Channel 4 reality series The Jump alongside Alex Brooker. The following month she ran, swam and cycled her way across the UK for Sport Relief.
Quote: "I've been on telly for 20 years, and I've done some awful TV."
Trivia: Davina performed in a band at school called Foghorn. She has released several workout DVDs.
Nicky Campbell (Presenter)
Born: April 10, 1961 in Edinburgh
Best Known For: Presenting consumer shows.
Early-life: Nicholas Andrew Argyle Campbell was born on April 10, 1961, and given up for adoption by his mother, Stella Lackey-Newton. He was brought up in Edinburgh by Frank and Elizabeth Campbell and started looking for Stella after his adoptive dad died. Mother and son were reunited in 1996, and after becoming a dad himself, he decided to find out more about his birth father. He studied at Aberdeen University where he and his friends, including the actor Iain Glen, were the driving force behind the drama society.
Career: Campbell cut his broadcasting teeth on Aberdeen's Northsound, joining Radio 1 in 1987 with a late-night Saturday programme. He launched the station's new drive-time slot in 1994, and took over the afternoon show in 1995. He has also branched out into TV, fronting the regional debate programme Central Weekend, which gained notoriety for its raucous arguments, and hosting game show The Wheel of Fortune between 1988 and 1994. Campbell joined Radio Five Live in 1997, and in 2004 he launched daytime chat show Now You're Talking. He hosted Watchdog for eight years until 2009, and now co-hosts Long Lost Family with Davina McCall, and consumer show Your Money Their Tricks.
Quote: "Too many DJs have shallow personalities."
Trivia: He is a patron of the British Association for Adoption and Fostering.
