Michelle has 6 years experience working within the television industry including live broadcasts and recorded, studio and field presenting. She is as comfortable following direction and reading off autocue as she is filling and working off the cuff. She has a very natural approach and an extremely comfortable and enjoyable interviewing technique. She has predominantly worked within sports and poker but is keen to broaden her repertoire.
Her career started with a bang in 2003 when she was spotted by Image Wizard Television and asked to host a 12 part sports series called ‘Rem Com Raiders’ which aired on Channel 5. Her charm and likeability on screen was an immediate hit with the audience, with her natural style, flare and ease in front of the camera and after a successful debut Michelle went on to present the European Drag Racing Championships for Sky Sports, which she did for 3 seasons, and the Stock Car Racing Championships, which aired on Channel 5 and Eurosports.
Always up for trying something a little different she accepted the chance to host a live, analytical poker show called ‘Poker Night Live’ which aired every night on Sky. After reading everything she could about the game, playing consistently every day and with the help of the 6 experts she worked with on the show, she became a very competent player and a force to be reckoned with at the tables. The viewers followed her progress and became the start of her fan base. From there she became a regular host of Sky Poker & has worked on various TV poker projects across the channels, including the prestigious TV poker series ‘Poker Million’ for Sky Sports.
Michelle is now the face of the ‘European Poker Tour’ by Pokerstars airing on Channel 4 and Sky. She hosts every episode, carry’s out all of the interviews and performs the voice overs. She’s very excited to be part of the Pokerstars phenomenon & also enjoys playing in tourmanents under the Pokerstars flag.
She is a lover of adventure sports, an advanced rock climber and skier and has enjoyed sky diving, bungee jumping, canoeing, surfing, diving, white water rafting, trekking, cliff jumping, coastal steering, skiing, horse riding, wake boarding and most recently zorbing.
"No mountain too high or valley too deep..." is her motto for life, which sums her up quite nicely we think.
