Kirsty Gallacher
Kirsty has been waking up the nation by presenting Lorraine for ITV1 on weekday mornings; an environment she has excelled in. She co-hosted Soccer Aid with Dermot O’Leary for ITV1; the charity football match which pitted celebrities against legendary footballers. Away from the screen she has had a second baby and married her long term partner.
Kirsty is known for her fitness and interest in sport and has successfully combined the two in the entertainment TV shows she has hosted. She ensured fair play between Ant and Dec on Saturday Night Takeaway for primetime ITV1 over the course of 5 series in the popular slot Ant V’s Dec.
Kirsty launched the return series of family-favourite Gladiators alongside Ian Wright for Sky One. With Angus Deayton she co-presented the live BBC1 series Only Fools On Horses, which saw celebrities take on the challenge of show jumping to raise money for Sports Relief. For Channel Four, Kirsty hosted The Games following her triumph in the previous series. Utilising her extensive golfing knowledge she co-presented the star-studded golf extravaganza, the All Star Cup for ITV1/ITV2, live from Celtic Manor in Wales, which saw Europe take on the USA in a three-day golf tournament.
Turning her hand to radio, Kirsty has hosted her own sports and entertainment show for BBC Radio Five Live on Saturday mornings and has presented a weekly Wednesday evening Golf series for the station. Both shows saw her interviewing various luminaries from the sporting world while discussing the pressing issues of the day.
Other presenting credits include kick starting BBC1’s holiday series Departure Lounge by travelling to Singapore on their £500 challenge, reporting from Tunisia for BBC1’s Holiday, reporting for Richard and Judy in their book club series, co-hosting Simply The Best for ITV, co-hosting The Laureus World Sports Awards in Lisbon for Five and hosting her own series for Sky One including Kirsty’s Home Video’s and TV Meltdown.
Born in Edinburgh, Kirsty relocated to Surrey with her family. After studying at the London College of Fashion, Kirsty pursued a career in broadcasting, where she worked as an editorial assistant for Sky Sports. Her natural talent and ability were soon spotted, and led to presenting stints on Sky Sports News and Soccer AM, as well as being one of the original presenters of RI:se for Channel 4.
When she is not working, Kirsty likes to keep fit. She is a keen athlete and excels in a number of sports including swimming, sprinting and golf. Kirsty is passionate about animal welfare, is an avid reader of history books and has a penchant for falconry. Her two sons Oscar and Jude keep her busy along with George the dog and Scarlett the hen.
