For the reality TV beauty has carved out a new career as a club DJ – and she'll be turning heads – and discs – when she takes to the turntables at The Priory on Saturday night.

Kate shot to fame as the first female winner of the famed Channel surveillance show – triumphing over the likes of Jade Goody in series 3 back in 2002.

When she exited the house to host Davina McCall and rapturous cheers almost five years ago, the former IT consultant could have had little idea of the new celebrity world she was about to be catapulted into.

But it might never have happened.

She explains : "My sister Karen is a TV addict and watches every soap and reality show. She asked me to print her an application form for BB.

When I told her it was 25 pages long she said 'Oh forget it.' So one day I was reading through the form and decided to apply myself."

She sent her application form to Big Brother at the very last minute and her sister cried when she found out Kate was to be a housemate.

Of course, with millions of votes, she was a clear winner and after leaving the house, made a best selling fitness DVD to lose the 18lb she had put on in the nine weeks she spent living in the house.

" As a big fan of boxing, I decided to release a boxercise workout to help others get in shape as well as myself. I think Britain is slowly becoming a lazy nation and I was thrilled people bought my DVD to motivate themselves in getting fit."

Since 2002 Kate has presented Channel 4's daily Breakfast show 'RI:SE' with Iain Lee, has co-presented FIVE's 'Party In The Park', 'The Brit Awards' with Foxy for Capital FM, and enjoyed success hosting a top weekly show also on Capital FM - 'Hit Music Sunday' with Andi Peters.

Kate has also presented for Celebrity Extra on Living TV, reported on FIVEs 'Boxing Academy' and was recently a strong contender in ITV's 'Celebrity Wrestling'.

But since 2005, she has become one of the hottest properties on the UK and worldwide club circuit after turning her hand to DJ'ing.

" My school friend had decks in his bedroom when I was growing up before Big Brother. I loved going round to play with his music. He gave me a few lessons and I told him I wanted to be a DJ. " But after only a few weeks practice it wasn't meant to be. Kate packed her suitcases and decided to go and live in Tokyo Japan with her boyfriend who moved there to work.

However, a couple of years ago, she rediscovered her taste for music – and the rest as they say, is history.

"I have always been into music and for two years, made cassettes for all my mates at school. I would sit at home every Sunday and make tapes of my favourite house and garage songs. The amount of tapes I still own with "Kates House Mix" is ridiculous, but I can't throw them away!
" Music was also the only thing I really missed when I was in Big Brother. I didn't care about TV, my mobile phone, food or drink. All I wanted was my CD collection. Being a really keen clubber since the days when I'd use my elder sister's driving licence for fake I.D, I guess I really got the bug to DJ after going to Ibiza in 2004.

" It was my 4th time to the island and I went with my boyfriend at the time, his friends and my friends. We only stayed for a week and hit the clubs nearly every night. After hearing the likes of Erick Morillo play at Pacha, I'd be sitting in a quiet bar the following night just itching to be back in the clubs, buzzing off the DJ's, dancing my socks off and making new friends! On my return to England I vowed to save up, buy some decks and be DJing within a year. When Celebrity Wrestling finished filming in early 2005, my journey began."

And you can catch Kate on the latest leg of her journey when she appears at The Priory this Saturday at the club's Viva La Diva night from 10.30am until 4.30am. Admission is £6 before midnight, £8 after.
