Kate Silverton Biography

- TV/Radio Presenter
- Women
Kate Silverton is a hugely popular member of the News presenting team. An experienced conference facilitator and awards host, Kate brings a professional, charming and engaging presence to any event
Journalism from Around the World
From being tear-gassed in Bethlehem and broadcasting from the frontline in Basra to figure-heading the BBC's coverage of the Oscars and the Glastonbury festival, Kate is as much at home in the war zones of the Middle East and Africa as she is rubbing shoulders with celebrities in the glitz and glamour of Los Angeles.
In the process she has established herself as the new face of BBC news, regularly presenting the One O Clock news and BBC Breakfast. Kate was chosen to co-host BBC1’s New Year Live celebrations to welcome 2009 from HMS Belfast.
Kate is in demand to present BBC prime time documentaries, fronting Big Cat Live last year, a pioneering live broadcast and featuring in My Family at War, which traced the steps of her great grandfather.
Other prime time work this year includes “Ten Things You Didn’t Know About Sleep” and “The Speaker”, where Kate mentors aspiring young presenters.
Kate has become a mainstay reporter for Panorama and presented the prime time BBC One feature “Ultimate Wild Water”; winning huge acclaim for overcoming her fear of open water to tackle some of Britain’s most notorious waters by kayak.
in 2008 Kate tackled the Top Gear race track in extremely wet conditions and made a guest appearance on Have I Got News For You.
Corporate Financier and Broadcaster
This year Kate introduced live coverage to celebrate 90 years of the Royal Air Force and provided the commentary for the Windsor Tattoo in the presence of Her Majesty the Queen.
Kate has developed a reputation for being warm, engaging and eclectic whilst also being hugely focused and highly professional.
It is this integrity and broad experience in both business and journalism that has enabled her to interview major political, military and showbusiness figures, whilst also chairing conferences and debates for some of Britain’s biggest organisations such as BT, Royal Bank of Scotland, KPMG, The Royal Navy and Transport for London.
Kate graduated from the University of Durham with a BSc in Psychology. Before that she studied Arabic and Middle Eastern history for a year, fuelled by an interest in Middle East politics. This interest developed following a stay on a Kibbutz in Israel and travels with Bedouin tribesmen in Egypt.
Kate has been a keen traveller since her first expedition with Operation Raleigh (now Raleigh International) to Zimbabwe in 1990. She has subsequently travelled extensively throughout Africa and the Middle East, most recently visiting Lesotho, Uganda and Oman. These experiences, immersing herself within hugely disparate cultures around the globe, have continued to prove the driving force for her reporting from some of the most troubled and beleaguered areas of the world.
