Katy Hill (born 15 April 1971) is an English television presenter who has worked in TV and radio in the UK since 1995.
Born in Poole, Dorset, her father, Chris Hill, was the local vicar. Hill has two siblings, an elder brother Simon and a younger sister Naomi. She gained 9 'O' levels and 4 'A' Levels at St. Edward's Church of England School in Romford, London, and worked in a record shop before she started presenting. Hill worked for free at the local radio station BBC Essex, to gain the experience required to become a presenter.
Hill began her media career with voluntary work in Essex at EastWard Hospital Television, and presented Katy's Capers on BBC Essex, before transferring to Nickelodeon. Whilst working for BBC channel controllers and the Head of Children's Television as a secretary, she bombarded the editor of Blue Peter with showreels, which resulted in her winning an audition place.
On 23 June 1995, Hill joined the Children's BBC TV programme Blue Peter and left on 19 June 2000. Her assignments included living in Mongolia with a family for a week, training with the England football squad for a World Cup special, joining the Cirque du Soleil and making things from yoghurt pots and sticky-backed plastic. She won the 2000 Children's BAFTA Award for Best Presenter, for her time on Blue Peter. She returned to Blue Peter for one episode on 30 March 2010 for the final programme to feature the dog Mabel.
