Sue Perkins
A regular face on British television since the mid-90s, Sue Perkins was usually seen with her comedic partner Mel Giedroyc, whom she performed with under the name Mel and Sue. Born in London in 1969, Perkins studied English at Cambridge, where she became a member of the Cambridge University Footlights Dramatic Club. It was there that she met Giedroyc, whom she would collaborate with on their first television gig in 1996 writing for the sketch comedy series "French and Saunders" (BBC, 1987-). The two even appeared in a number of episodes, setting the stage for their next big break the following year, when they began hosting the morning chat show "Light Lunch" (Channel 4, 1997-98), which was later given a primetime slot and renamed "Late Lunch" (Channel 4, 1998-99). Over the coming years, Perkins would appear on countless shows, acting as team captain on "Win, Lose or Draw Late" (ITV, 2004-05), participating in "The Supersizers Eat" (BBC, 2007-08), and appearing as a panelist on everything from "The Graham Norton Show" (BBC, 2007-) to "Celebrity Squares" (ITV, 2014-). Perkins' profile would raise even higher when she and Giedroyc began hosting "The Great British Bake Off" (BBC, 2010-) in 2010, a competitive reality series that would become one of the most popular shows in Britain. The two would stay with the series until its move to Channel 4 in 2016.
