Natasha Kaplinsky
Natasha Kaplinsky joined Five News in January 2008.
Before her role at Five she was at the BBC for five years.
Natasha was the subject of one of the programmes in the popular BBC1 television series, Who Do You Think You Are? in September 2007.
Natasha grew up in Kenya and was six when she first saw a television set. Her family moved to Sussex where she went to school before studying English at Oxford University.
She worked in the press offices of Neil Kinnock and John Smith before spotting an advertisement for a news presenter with Meridian in the South East. She was taken on to present early-morning bulletins but soon found herself anchoring the station’s evening news magazine. She moved to Carlton in London to host news and current affairs programmes including their flagship nightly news show.
In 2000 she joined Sky News and was a leading member of the presenting team when the channel won a Bafta for Best News Channel.
She was delighted to be named the Variety Club’s TV Personality of the Year 2004 and surprised when her victory in the Strictly Come Dancing was named as Top Entertainment Moment 2004 while the 2004 Tric Awards honoured her as Newscaster of the Year.
She now combines her news commitments with a busy schedule of corporate work and guest appearances. She is a patron of the medical relief agency Merlin and The Willow Foundation, which organises special days for seriously ill young adults.
