It’s been over two decades since Katy Hill left Blue Peter, having spent five years as a presenter on the BBC children’s TV favourite.

During her tenure, she appeared on the iconic and long running show with the likes of Stuart Miles, Tim Vincent, Romana D’Annunzio and Konnie Huq, and became a beloved part of the programme’s history.

Having joined in 1995, she stepped away in 2000 and move onto Live & Kicking, before moving away from kids TV, and now Katy, 53, has embrace a whole new career.

Now a lifestyle coach, Katy is often seen online promoting her work, and in a recent selfie she showed how truly ageless she looks as she posed for a photo with Fearne Cotton.

The pair connected over the weekend at Fearne’s Happy Place festival at Tatton Park, and the former presenter – who spoke at the event – was delighted to spend some with her fellow Top of the Pops alumni.

Sharing a selfie on Instagram, she wrote: ‘SO much to share about the most magical weekend at @happyplaceofficial Festival at Tatton Park – and when I decompress I have SO much to share – but first, I want to make it all about THIS beautiful soul @fearnecotton!

‘Fearne was brave enough to re-write the script on life and, as a result, we ALL get to benefit from her unique impact on the world!

‘THANKYOU Fearne – from all of us – for creating such a magical space – and thankyou for trusting me to host the beautiful Talk Stage! When people make you smile SO big your eyes almost disappear (!) you KNOW that’s a genuine connection!

‘Thankyou for listening to that inner knowing Fearne – we’re all SO grateful you did!’

During her time on Blue Peter, Katy became known for her daring stunts, and was even the first civilian to fly with the Red Arrows.

Away from children’s TV, she made appearances on the likes of Top of the Pops and Football Fever, and in 2004 she appeared on Channel 4’s The Games.

She later moved into the world of radio and magazines, as well as a role on ITV’a Daybreak.

Now working as a life coach, her Instagram bio reads: ‘The shy kid who refused to play small & spent 30 years on TV!

‘Now empowering YOU to UNLOCK your CONFIDENCE & claim your LIMITlESS future!’

Katy has been married to former Live and Kicking host Trey Farley, with whom she had two children, for over two decades, having previously tied the knot with childhood love Andrew Framptom from 1999 to 2001.
