Career
First appearing as an extra on CBBC programme Byker Grove aged 10, Air was asked to audition for a role by a producer, and was subsequently cast as Charlie Charlton. In 1994, Air and her co-stars Jayni Hoy and Vicky Taylor formed Byker Groove!, releasing the single "Love Your Sexy", which charted at 48 on the UK Singles Chart. Air moved to London aged 15, continuing the band as a duo with Hoy as Crush. Two of the band's singles released in 1996, "Jellyhead" and "Luv'd Up", charted in the UK at 50 and 45 respectively, while their debut studio album Teenage Kicks failed to chart. The band's management team booked Crush on a tour of the United States, Japan and South East Asia, commencing after Air completed her GCSEs, with "Jellyhead" subsequently peaking at 76 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Following her promotional touring, she returned to the United Kingdom and in September 1997 signed to MTV UK to host the daily live show, MTV Select, later becoming a presenter of several shows including The Big Breakfast, Channel 4's flagship morning entertainment show. Air departed MTV Select in April 2000, citing her desire to return to acting and to devote more time to her role on The Big Breakfast as the reasons for her departure. In January 2001, Air was promoted to a main presenter on The Big Breakfast in a relaunch of the programme amid falling viewer figures. However, Air later resigned in May of that year, with Channel 4 axing The Big Breakfast shortly thereafter. Also in May, Air appeared in The Mummy Returns, the sequel to The Mummy (1999), in a "blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo" that BBC film critic Neil Smith described as one of the only points of difference between the sequel and the original film.
She has also appeared in many television dramas, most recently Hollyoaks in 2010 and Hotel Babylon in 2008, BBC TV comedy Operation Good Guys, Catherine Cookson's six-parter A Dinner of Herbs, and Lynda La Plante's Supply & Demand.
