Award-winning presenter Angellica Bell has seamlessly progressed from beloved kid's TV presenter, to hugely successful adult factual and entertainment host.

And the cheeky presenter graces our screens most days as the reporter for hit daily topical programme, The One Show on BBC1, which attracts viewing figures in excess of 5 million.

Angellica's intelligent, warm and witty presenting style has earned her the Best Presenter award at the Black Filmmakers Awards as well as BAFTA nominations two year's running in the Best Children's Presenter category.

And the last few years have been a blur for the popular host, presenting The British Soap Awards After Party for ITV2 with her partner and fellow TV Presenter Michael Underwood - who she also presents ITV1's daily show The Zone with - regularly appearing on The Wright Stuff, reviewing the news and presenting items on This Morning and guest presenting BBC2's Something for the Weekend.

She has also been zipping all over the globe as a panellist for this year's I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here Now and as the presenter of the primetime shows Holiday Hitsquad and Departure Lounge, both for BBC1.

Angellica also fronted EastEnders Xtra for BBC3, where she brought us an insight to the behind-the-scenes action and gossip from Albert Square and in 2007 she wowed fans by singing for charity in Comic Relief Does Fame Academy for BBC1 and presented the hugely popular Celebair for ITV2.

With a background studying politics at university and Julian Bell - leader of Ealing council - as her father, she was the perfect choice to host Election with Jonathan Dimbleby for CBBC, a political show for young people that went on to win a Children's BAFTA last year.

Other highlights from her explosive career include hosting Dance Xtra for BBC3, the spin-off show to Dance X for BBC1, where she had to manage tears and tantrums from the competing dancing groups as well as her moving half-hour special about the abolition of the slave trade, Angellica - Time Traveller.

She will always look back on her early presenting career on CBBC fondly. It spanned more than six years and saw her presenting high-profile shows like The Saturday Show, Short Change and 50/50.

Angellica is also a dab-hand at radio and often covered for Ben Shepherd on Heat radio as well as presenting Making Tracks for Radio 3, where she got the opportunity to present live concerts around the country with the BBC Orchestra.

When she's not on the small screen, the energetic star is busy tackling sporting challenges - she has run the London Marathon, the Great North Run and the Three Peaks Challenge where she climbed the three biggest mountain peaks in the UK in 24 hours, to name a few.

And she works regularly for a number of different charities including Breast Cancer Breakthrough, is a school Governor and has set up a cupcake business called Wooden Bell Cupcakes with fiance Michael Underwood.
