Cat Deeley

Stunning fashion model and TV personality Cat Deeley may be the portrait of feminine beauty, but appearances can be deceiving. When the British-born celebrity was growing up in Sutton Coldfield, she was actually something of a tomboy, frequently tagging along with her brother Max. Soon, however, Deeley grew into a lovely-looking teen, and caught the eye of a modeling agency. After graduating from Bishop Vesey's Grammar School's Sixth Form College, she began modeling full-time, collecting contacts in the industry, and becoming a steadily more famous face. After two years, Deeley gave up modeling and became a TV personality, hosting such shows as CD: UK and Stars in Their Eyes. She was a fixture on MTV UK for years, also appearing on countless awards shows and specials, all while doing promotional work for upscale companies like Marks & Spencer until she finally decided to bridge the Atlantic and begin a career on American television. In 2006, Deeley took on hosting duties for the hit show So You Think You Can Dance, signing on to return for the third season in 2007 as well. ~ Cammila Albertson, All Movie Guide
