Michaela Strachan (Presenter)
Born: April 07, 1966 in Ewell, Surrey
Best Known For: The Really Wild Show.
Early-life: Born Michaela Evelyn Ann Strachan in Surrey on April 7, 1966. Her father was a building society manager who lost his job when she was in her teens - she claims the event has since shaped her approach to finance and has made her an avid saver. Strachan attended Claremont Fan Court School, Esher, a Christian Science school. Later, while at college, she briefly had jobs as an Avon lady and as a kissogram. After studying at ArtsEd London, Michaela performed in theatre before moving into children's TV.
Career: Strachan was a prominent personality on British Saturday morning TV in the 1980s thanks to such programmes as TV-am and Wide Awake Club with Timmy Mallett. In 1988 she hosted the pan-European show Boogie Box on the channel Music Box. In 1993, she joined the team of presenters of The Really Wild Show, and stayed with the series until its cancellation in 2006. Strachan starred as "Her" in the music show The Hitman and Her alongside Pete Waterman. She has also featured in a small acting role in the BBC sitcom Game On. Since the 1990s, Strachan has been involved in a number of wildlife programmes, including Michaela's Wild Challenge, Springwatch and Autumnwatch. She is also a regular on the pantomime circuit. In January 2014, she was a contestant on ITV reality series Splash!
Quote: "I once dreamt I was being chased by giant guinea pigs, who were skinning humans for coats. They caught me and I struck a deal, that I would help them capture people."
Trivia: Strachan supports the World Vision charity. She lives in South Africa.
Chris Packham (Presenter)
Born: May 04, 1961 in Southampton
Best Known For: Presenting a string of wildlife programmes.
Early-life: Christopher Gary Packham was born in Southampton on May 4, 1961. His sister, Jenny, is a fashion designer. Chris studied zoology at his home city's university and was going to do a PhD, but instead, after meeting wildlife film-maker Stephen Bullwell, he decided to train with him as a cameraman. Chris's big break came in 1985 when he began working as a presenter on the BBC's children's TV series The Really Wild Show.
Career: After seven years presenting The Really Wild Show, Chris set up his own TV company - Head Over Heels TV - where he made wildlife shows for ITV, Channel 4, Animal Planet, National Geographic and the BBC. More recently he has returned to his first love, working on and presenting TV shows, and can regularly be seen on BBC Two presenting Autumnwatch and Springwatch. He is active in many wildlife conservation bodies: he is vice-president of the RSPB, The Wildlife Trusts, and the Brent Lodge Bird & Wildlife Trust, and is a patron of Population Matters.
Quote: On being a sex symbol: "I suppose I am the only clean-shaven man in ornithology."
Trivia: In 2011, he was awarded the British Trust for Ornithology's Dilys Breese Medal.
