Kate Miles (born 1971) is a British actress. Born Kate Walker, in Spalding Lincolnshire, she is the daughter of retired pharmacist Graham and former model, Carol. Kate acted from a young age at Spalding High School and then with Devon Youth Theatre when the family relocated. However, after graduating from Oxford University with a degree in Experimental Psychology, she soon won a much coveted Graduate Production Trainee post at Planet 24 Productions (alongside Ali G & Borat Exec Producer Dan Mazer). Here, Kate worked on The Word and produced The Big Breakfast before being posted to LA to be the company's resident celebrity interviewer (1997 - 2000). In LA, Kate soon rediscovered her love of acting whilst studying under local guru Jo Palese, at Theatre West. With his encouragement Kate turned down the main female presenter job on The Big Breakfast and returned to London to take a place on the three year acting course at RADA. She continued to edit The Big Breakfast part-time to pay her way through training, only ending her seven year relationship with the show in 2002 as part of the team behind its final broadcast. Kate's lengthy acting CV encompasses both stage and screen and includes Tom Hooper's Bafta winning Longford with Jim Broadbent. In 2012 Kate was cast as a lead in a brand new comedy series for E4, airing in October 2012. Kate lives in North London with her TV Executive husband, Martin Heaton Cooper and their two small children.
