Kate Thornton Career

Career

She was the first female and youngest editor of pop magazine Smash Hits at age 22, releasing her first issue in February 1996 that chronicled the breakup of boy-band Take That. She left a year later, but the magazine's sales dropped even more. She became a Features Editor at the Sunday Times in 1997, a post she held until 2001, and also a contributing Editor for magazine Marie Claire, which she continued in 2003.

Thornton began his second career in television while working in these new editorial positions. Thornton was given her first television hosting job on the ITV current affairs program Straight Up in February 1997. On the day of her death, she was tasked with putting together a photo tribute with music for Princess Diana. Thornton said in an interview in March 2011: "...because it was Sunday, the music library was closed, and the only thing I had in my car was "Candle in the Wind," Elton John's best hits' "Candle in the Wind." Colleagues attributed the song's airplay and then re-recording to this occasion. Thornton was initially dismissed as doubtful, but later came to accept the possibility: "I never dared to assume for one minute that I was the link." But Nick Knowles (co-presenter on the show) has persuaded me that it was all down to me."

Thornton was the first host of the UK version of The X Factor. She appeared on three series of the show from 2004 to 2006 before being replaced by Dermot O'Leary. Thornton appeared on ITV's daytime series Loose Women in rotation with Andrea McLean. She appeared on 233 episodes of the show from 2009 to 2011. Carol Vorderman had her removed from her role.

Thornton was a regular stand-in host on This Morning, and she co-presented the first series of 71 Degrees North with Gethin Jones in 2010. Neither of them appeared in the second series. In 2010, she narrated The Country's Favourite Abba Song. In 2011, Thornton also hosted A Night with Will Young. In 2012, she appeared on Lorraine for six episodes.

Thornton also performed Gravity Games for BBC Two and Breasts: The Naked Truth Honesty Honesty Honest for Channel 4 and Breasts Uncupped for Sky1.

Since 2002, Thornton has hosted a number of programmes on BBC Radio 2. Thornton, as well as presenting, was also the author of the radio show From Band to Brand in 2004, and the producer of the radio show Line of Enquiry in 2004, allowing an audience to ask questions to a number of celebrities, which began in 2007.

Thornton hosted The Boots Feel Good Forum, a radio show dedicated to health and fitness that aired on Real Radio and Smooth Radio from 10 March to April 28, 2013.

Thornton has hosted Paper Cuts, a radio show on BBC Radio 2, since 2014, she has performed on Paper Cuts, a radio show on BBC Radio 2, and has replaced Darren Proctor on Saturday nights.

Thornton, Nicole Appleton, Natalie Appleton, Mel Blatt, and Shaznay Lewis founded TBSeen in January 2016. In September 2018, TBSeen was in the administration.

In 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2013, Thornton hosted the live Strict Come Dancing tour. In the UK Version of Shrek 2, she also spoke about the role of the red carpet host.
