Mel Giedroyc (Host)
Born: June 05, 1958 in Epsom, Surrey
Best Known For: Being the blonde half of TV personalities Mel and Sue.
Early-life: Melanie Clare Sophie Giedroyc was born on June 5, 1968, in Epsom, Surrey, and grew up in Leatherhead. Her father is a Polish-Lithuanian history writer who settled in England in 1947. Mel also has Belgian and Belarusian ancestry. She attended Oxford High School before going on to Trinity College, Cambridge, where she studied Modern Languages. Her sister, Coky, is a TV director whose credits include The Hour, Blackpool and What Remains.
Career: Like bread and butter, Giedroyc and Sue Perkins go well together - in fact, they're almost inseparable in professional terms. They were a hit at the Edinburgh Festival in 1993, and went on to write scripts for French and Saunders before presenting comedy chat show Light/Late Lunch and RI:SE. She was also in the children's sketch show Sorry I've Got No Head. More recently she has scored another hit with The Great British Bake-Off, alongside Sue, and daytime ITV show, Mel and Sue. Her radio work has included The 4 O'Clock Show on Radio 4 Extra.
Quote: On her relationship with Sue Perkins: 'She's like Don Corleone with her friends, which I must say can at times be trying: she will always get the truth out of you, you can't hide anything.'
Trivia: She has written two books: From Here to Maternity and Going Gaga.
Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen (Team captain)
Born: March 11, 1965 in Streatham, London
Best Known For: His flowing locks, foppish outfits and love of colourful interior design.
Early-life: Born March 11, 1965, he grew up in Streatham. His father, a surgeon, died of leukaemia when he was nine. He and his younger brother (Edward) and sister (Frances) were raised by their mother, a teacher. Despite wanting to be a lawyer until he was 16, Laurence's love of art, especially needlework, led him to enrol at Camberwell Art School. He then took a job in the marketing department of a rubber flooring company before moving into interior design, working on the Richmond and Criterion theatres in London.
Career: Llewelyn-Bowen worked for a large interior design company before setting up his own consultancy, winning several high-profile clients. His wife recommended him to a TV producer friend, which led to appearances on Changing Rooms, where he became famous for his outlandish taste. While most of the show's participants loved his colourful creations, some were decidedly unimpressed. He also appeared on Home Front, Taste and Real Rooms, before taking over as Changing Rooms' host from Carol Smillie. More recently, Laurence has been a judge on Popstar to Operastar, and presented daytime ITV show House Gift. In August 2013, he was a contestant on ITV dancing reality series Stepping Out with his wife Jackie - they finished third.
Quote: 'Like the seventh cavalry emerging o'er the brink of the hill, I come with panniers full of wallpaper.'
Trivia: In 2002, he made a cameo appearance in sitcom The League of Gentlemen.
Denise Van Outen (Team captain)
Born: May 27, 1974 in Basildon, Essex
Best Known For: The Big Breakfast.
Early-life: Born Denise Kathleen Outen on May 27, 1974, in Basildon, Essex. A former child actress, van Outen went to a local dance school. After doing some modelling she began auditioning for dramas, but found it difficult to continue with her education. She enrolled at theatre school and, because her parents couldn't afford the fees, paid for it herself by appearing in small roles on TV and stage.
Career: Van Outen became a household name and lads mag favourite thanks to spells on The Big Breakfast and sitcom Babes in the Wood. Films such as Tube Tales and Love, Honour and Obey met with a lukewarm reception. Her stage work has been better received. She wowed the critics with her performance in Chicago, both in London and New York. Other West End roles include Tell Me on a Sunday, Rent Remixed, and Legally Blonde. She co-hosted Grease: You're the One that I Want for NBC in America in 2007, but was forced to take elocution lessons because the American audience did not warm to her Essex accent. Van Outen had better luck when she appeared on the panel of BBC1's Any Dream Will Do! which was casting Joseph in a new production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. She reunited with former Big Breakfast colleague Johnny Vaughan in 2008 as a co-host of the breakfast show on Capital Radio, but she quit a few months later half-way through her contract. In 2012, she partnered with professional dancer James Jordan on Strictly Come Dancing.
Quote: 'A lot of people probably think that I am outrageous in my ways but it's just fun. I often feel like a gay man trapped in a woman's body.'
Trivia: She has designed fashion collections for the website, Very.
