Ep 111 Interview Sessions with Gemma Hunt

It is so good to have Gemma Hunt back on the podcast. Gemma was originally on Ep 8 when we discussed her career as a children's TV presenter here in the UK with the CBBC.  Gemma has been working in TV since 2003 when she graduated with her First Class Media Performance Degree from The University of Bedfordshire. Having met an agent through a careers day at the University, Gemma's showreel was sent to CBBC who met her for an interview, invited her for a screen test and then offered her a contract with CBBC, all before she had graduated. Gemma started working exclusively for CBBC in July 2003 before going freelance in 2007. 2013 saw Gemma join the CBeebies family on BAFTA award winning pirate gameshow 'Swashbuckle'. Gemma also presents 'Together' - a BBC Learning School Radio show downloadable for school assemblies. You can see Gemma presenting live at Festivals around the UK, including Big Church Day Out and co-presenting the new Alpha Film Series for alpha.org.  Gemma also runs workshops in presenting skills and enjoys working with children, leading storytelling sessions and birthday parties.
