Natalie Pirks is the freshest talent to hit our screens in the last few years. She was the co-host of "Make me a Supermodel Extra" on Five Life and is the Entertainment Editor for ITN On.

Natalie is a fully-qualified and multi-skilled journalist, having studied multi-media journalism at Bournemouth University and graduating with a 2:1 degree. She majored in radio and sport, and for her final project she produced a 12-minute radio package in the issues surrounding bringing video replay into football, during which she interviewed the then manager of West Ham United Harry Redknapp, The Mirror Deputy Ed Des Kelly and football Agent Rachel Anderson. She then moved on to stints writing for The Times, The Mirror and Talk Sport.

Having won the 2002 BBC Talent competition, she has taken the bull by the horns and proved that she's not just a pretty face. Since then, she has been a valued member of the BBC Grandstand and BBC London teams, reporting from high-profile events such as the Olympics, Commonwealth Games and the World Darts Championships. As part of the team at BBC London as both a presenter on radio and television, her football reports have been an enjoyable part of Saturday afternoons across the capital, and with a unique ability to get the stories behind the personalities.

Natalie has also worked for Radio 1, spending 8 months as a journalist and presenter and as well as editing and producing for the station. Her in-depth knowledge and countless connections made her the obvious choice to work on top breaking sports stories, such as Rio Ferdinand's ban, the Leicester City scandal in La Manga, top European football games etc. After Radio 1, Natalie has made her mark at ITN, working on news, business, showbiz and sport bulletins, as well as presenting business and showbiz updates for mobile phone networks.

With all this experience behind her, it is amazing that Natalie is still in her mid-20's! With a long career in front of her, there is no doubt that Natalie will go far.
