Carol Smillie is one of the UK’s most sought after presenters for television programmes, award ceremonies, corporate events, advertisements and charity work. Those who know her primarily from Changing Rooms may be surprised by the range of her work on and off the TV. She has won a NATIONAL TV AWARD, an INDIE award and was nominated for a BAFTA.
Carol began her career in showbusiness as the much publicised hostess on ITV's WHEEL OF FORTUNE, a role however, which denied her a chance to speak.
She found her voice, and her feet, shortly after as one of the main reporters on BBC2's THE TRAVEL SHOW, and, after two years, she was snapped up as a regular on BBC1's HOLIDAY, often fronting the show.
However, the show she will always be known for is, of course, BBC television's CHANGING ROOMS, the flagship DIY programme which changed the face of British television as we know it today. The programme earned Carol invitations to Buckingham Palace & Downing Street and the big red book on THIS IS YOUR LIFE.Having lasted through 9 weeks and seen off 9 other contestants, I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who voted and logged on to keep up with my video diaries. Taking part in Strictly Come Dancing has been one of the most exciting, crazy and memorable experiences of my career so far. Not only have I learned a new skill, I've gained a new body and made some really terrific friends over the weeks.
