Catherine Beatrice Margaret "Katie" Derham (born 18 June 1970) is an English newscaster and a presenter on television and radio. In 2015 she reached the final and finished 4th in the 13th series of BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing.
Her father John Derham was a chemist for Pfizer and her mother Margaret a teacher. She was born in Canterbury, Kent, but the family moved to Cheshire within a year and she grew up in Wilmslow. She was educated at a primary school in Sandbach and at Cheadle Hulme School where she took A-Levels in French, History and Economics. She then read Economics at Magdalene College, Cambridge, graduating with a BA (Hons).
Derham began her broadcasting career at the BBC, starting as a researcher on Radio 4's Money Box. In 1995 she won the Bradford & Bingley "Best Personal Finance Broadcaster Award" for her work as a presenter on Radio 5 Live's Moneycheck. She moved to BBC television in 1996 as a consumer affairs correspondent and was also a reporter on the long-running Film... programme.
In 1998 she joined ITN as the Media and Arts Editor for ITV News and, at the age of 27, became the youngest newscaster on British national television since ITN's creation in 1955. In 2004, Derham became the main female presenter of the ITV Lunchtime News, and a relief presenter for both the ITV Evening News and the ITV News at Ten. She also co-presented the ITV London news programme London Tonight. Derham hosted her final ITV News programme on 25 June 2010.
