Katy Ashworth

Short Biography

Katy is the host of a new flagship CBeebies series called I Can Cook, which combines all of her performance skills. The show is aimed at getting the under-sixes in the kitchen and celebrates a hands-on approach to cooking. The children learn how to grow it, cook it and eat it accompanied by Katy's original songs which she sings and plays on her guitar.

At only 23 years old Katy is new to TV but has definitely found a career that suits her talent.  She is confident in front of the camera and appeals to all ages.  She has warmth, likeability and humour and is also a skilled actor, singer and musician.

Katy has a natural bond with children and has spent much of her adult life educating and entertaining young kids through drama and music.  She is an accomplished storyteller and is co-workshop leader for 'Little Sparks Storytelling' based at the Electric Theatre in Guildford. She's had great fun working at Disneyland in Paris as a character and parade performer and one of her highlights was travelling to Lapland and acting as the Arctic Express Elf!!! This love of entertaining a young audience has also led to her organising children's themed parties and events - locally in her home town of Hampshire and subsequently at the Dubai Shopping Festival where she also face painted for the children.
