Gemma Hunt

Gemma was born on the 1st of April in Trowbridge, Wiltshire and attended Staverton Primary School and The John of Gaunt School.

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.

Gemma also runs workshops in presenting skills and enjoys working with children, leading storytelling sessions and birthday parties.

In 2017 Gemma was hugely honoured to be nominated in the "Presenter" category at the Children's BAFTA'S.
