Angellica is currently a regular reporter for 'THE ONE SHOW' (BBC1 7pm) the flagship daily topical show for the channel which regularly attracts viewing figures of 5 million. She has been part of 'The One Show' family since it began in 2005.
Her career started in 2000 at Children's BBC and her progression from children's TV presenter to adult factual and entertainment programming has been successful and seamless. Her intelligent and warm presenting style has given her BAFTA recognition where she was nominated for two consecutive years in the Best Children's Presenter Award category. She also won the Best Presenter Award at the Screen Nation Awards.
2011 has been busy for Angellica. As well as fulfilling her One Show filming commitments up and down the country, she was away for a month filming '71 DEGREES NORTH' as one of the contestants in Norway. This is due to be shown on ITV1 every Tuesday at 9pm from 13th September for 8 weeks. It was a hard but fulfilling challenge for her and was a chance of a lifetime.
Since then she has appeared on 'THE WRIGHT STUFF' (Channel 5 - regular panellist), 'DAYBREAK' (ITV1), 'GARDEN ER' (Channel 5) and 'BORN TO SHINE' (ITV1) where she tap danced live on television with her husband for Save the Children charity.
The last few years have also been busy. She launched 'THE ZONE' (ITV1 2010) and presented 'THE BRITISH SOAP AWARDS AFTER PARTY' (ITV2 2009 and 2010) both with her partner and now husband, Michael Underwood. She also guest presented for 2 weeks for 'SOMETHING FOR THE WEEKEND' (BBC2 2010).
'THE GREAT BRITISH VILLAGE SHOW' (BBC1) was another prime time show Angellica fronted alongside Alan Titchmarsh and James Martin. The show celebrated rural Britain and the final episode was filmed at Highgrove with huge involvement from HRH Prince Charles.
Angellica has travelled the world extensively as presenter of the primetime travel shows 'DEPARTURE LOUNGE' (Nick Knowles/Simon Calder) and 'HOLIDAY HITSQUAD' (Nick Knowles) both for BBC1 and also fronted 'CELEBAIR' (ITV2).
Other shows she has hosted include 'DANCE XTRA' the spin off show to Dance X for BBC1 where she had to manage the tears and tantrums of competing dance groups as they endured a public vote every week. She fronted 'EASTENDERS EXTRA' for BBC3 where she brought us an insight to behind the scenes action and gossip of Albert Square and in 2007 sang her heart out for charity in 'COMIC RELIEF DOES FAME ACADEMY' on BBC1.
