[edit] Early life
Huq was born in Hammersmith, London, to Sunni Muslim[2] Bangladeshi parents who had emigrated to England in the 1960s.[3][4][5] She grew up in Ealing, London, with her two sisters, Rupa and Nutun. She was educated at the independent Notting Hill & Ealing High School in London obtaining 9 GCSEs (of which 8 were grade A and 1 grade B) and A-levels in physics, maths and chemistry. She also appeared on the TV gameshow Blockbusters in 1992.[citation needed] At Robinson College, Cambridge she obtained a 2:1 in Economics.[3]
[edit] Broadcasting career
[edit] Early career
In 1989, at the age of 14, Huq was a guest on Blue Peter with the National Youth Music Theatre, where she sang a solo[6] . In 1992, ahead of the forthcoming general election, Huq interviewed Labour leader Neil Kinnock for the children's programme Newsround[7]. She appeared as a contestant on Blockbusters in the same year[8] . She also appeared as an extra playing a schoolgirl (uncredited) in the BBC One sitcom 2point4 Children in the Series 2 episode "I'm Going Slightly Mad".[9] Huq's presenting debut was in a GMTV Saturday morning children's quiz show entitled "Eat Your Words"[10] between 1994 and 1996. She was ably assisted by Mark Speight before Simon Parkin took over presenting duties. In 1997, several months before joining Blue Peter, Huq presented Five's early morning children's programme Milkshake![11], while also working as an editorial assistant for the now defunct[12] 'Total Sport' magazine.[citation needed]
[edit] Blue Peter
Huq is best known for presenting the BBC children's television programme Blue Peter, which she joined on 1 December 1997.[13][14] One of her most memorable early moments on Blue Peter was visiting Bangladesh, and speaking to members of her extended family whom she had not seen for many years.[13] In the programme's 2004 "Summer Expedition" to India, Huq became an extra in the Bollywood film Musafir (2004), and practised dancing alongside its stars.[15][16].For the programme's 2004 "Welcome Home" appeal, she made an emotional visit to Angola in the hope of reuniting children with the families they had been separated from due to war.[17] In 2008, during her last programme, she broke a Guinness World Record by managing to pin 17 Blue Peter Badges onto fellow presenter Andy Akinwolere's shirt in a minute.[18]
During her time on Blue Peter her colleagues were Stuart Miles, Katy Hill, Romana D'Annunzio, Richard Bacon, Simon Thomas, Matt Baker, Liz Barker, Zöe Salmon, Gethin Jones and Andy Akinwolere.[citation needed]
In March 2007 she apologised to viewers after a competition on the programme was faked, saying "We'd like to say sorry to you because when this mistake happened, we let you down."[19] She was later reported as saying that this event contributed to her decision to leave the programme.[20][21]
On 31 May 2007, Huq announced that she would be leaving Blue Peter in early 2008.[19] Her last live programme was broadcast on 22 January 2008, making her the third longest-serving Blue Peter presenter of all time and its longest-serving female host, having passed Valerie Singleton's record on 1 October 2007.[22]
On 22 January 2008, Huq hosted her final Blue Peter, with a clip show of her highlights through the ten years she had been on the programme.[23]
[edit] The Xtra Factor
Huq presented the 2010 series of The Xtra Factor on ITV2 replacing Holly Willoughby who was unable to fulfil the role due to her ongoing commitments at This Morning.[24] However it was reported that she had departed from The Xtra Factor due to other commitments though rumours that she was sacked by Simon Cowell after he was reported to be unimpressed with her performance and presenting style.[25][26]
[edit] Other television work
Between 2002 and 2004, Huq co-presented the CBBC Channel's UK Top 40.[27]
In early 2003 Huq was briefly a presenter for Top of the Pops.[28][29]. She presented GMTV's LK today coverage on New York Fashion Week on the week of 10 September 2007.[30] She has also been a guest panelist on the comedy gameshow 8 out of 10 Cats.[31]
December 2007 saw Huq appear on a celebrity version of Ready Steady Cook with Blue Peter co-presenter Andy Akinwolere,[32]and playing a servant (called Konnie) on the last episode of the second series of Robin Hood.[33] Also in 2007, Konnie began presenting the ITV1 London show London Talking, a political debate show, alongside Vanessa Feltz and Nick Ferrari.[34]
She has also co-presented some of the weekly Your News programme for BBC News in 2008.[35] On 14 April 2008 Konnie was seen filming at Colchester Zoo for the 3rd series of Five show Zoo Days which was broadcast starting June 2008.[36]Also in 2008 Huq presented The Red Bull Air Race with Dougie Anderson for Channel 4.[37]
Huq appeared with her future husband Charlie Brooker in his satirical review programme Screenwipe in December 2008 on BBC Four. Here, she hosted a mock version of a "mission documentary" entitled Konnie's Great British Wee, in which she claimed to be on a mission to combat paruresis in males.[38] Huq appeared alongside Charles Kennedy on This Week on 18 December 2008[39]. She appeared on the CBBC series M.I.High as herself in the episode "The Big Freeze" broadcast on 22 January 2007[40][41]

She co-wrote, with husband Charlie Brooker, the second episode of the Channel 4 anthology series Black Mirror, entitled Fifteen Million Merits. The episode received positive critical reception.[46]
[edit] Radio
On 15 September 2006, Huq became one of the presenters of The Tube with Tony Wilson, Alex James and Emily Rose[disambiguation needed
] on Channel 4 Radio[47] working with production company UKoneFM. The first edition was broadcast on 3 November 2006.[48]
Huq made her debut as a news presenter on the BBC Asian Network in September 2007,[49] in a series of documentaries on a radio current affairs programme called the Asian Network Report.[4]
[edit] Olympic Torch incident
On 6 April 2008, Huq was one of 80 carriers of the Olympic torch relay through London when on Ladbroke Grove a protester, Ian Harold Brown, tried to grab the torch from her whilst Huq was about to give the torch to the next runner. On BBC News later that day she defended carrying the torch, saying she "did the procession because I believe in the Olympic values, the ideals, I think sport on a global scale is a brilliant thing, it transcends culture, race, money," despite what she calls China's "terrible track record when it comes to human rights."[50] Huq was not hurt in the incident. Police wrestled the protester to the ground and arrested him.[51] She, however, voiced concern over the Chinese torch guards, saying "They were very robotic, very full on, and actually I noticed them having skirmishes with our own police and the Olympic authorities before our leg of the relay".[52]
[edit] Charity interests
In 2005, Huq took part in BBC One show Comic Relief Does Fame Academy, in aid of Comic Relief, and was the third contestant to be voted off, after her rendition of Kim Wilde's Kids in America.[53][54] She also travelled to Uganda and met orphan children, on behalf of Comic Relief, and is currently a celebrity ambassador for the British Red Cross,[55] for whom she recorded the video "If I had HIV, would you kiss me?"[56] as part of a campaign against stigmatization of people living with HIV.
In 2008 Konnie travelled to Afghanistan with the charity Afghanaid to film a BBC Lifelines appeal which was aired on 21 September on BBC1.[57] In the film she talked with women in the remote province of Badakhshan, which has the highest maternal mortality rate in the world, about childbirth and made an appeal for viewers to donate to Afghanaid's programme to train local midwives. She also spoke to children who had been part of an Afghanaid Child Rights project, including a 14 year old girl who had persuaded her parents not to force her into marriage.[58]
Konnie Huq is an ambassador for Gold Challenge, part of the official mass participation legacy programme for the London 2012 Games. Gold Challenge is a fund-raising challenge where participants take on five or more Olympic and Paralympic sports in order to raise money for a charity of their choice. Konnie will be taking on her own Gold Challenge and encouraging others to do so as well.[59][60]
[edit] Personal life
Huq supported the Labour Party at the 2010 General Election.[61]
On 26 July 2010, Huq married Charlie Brooker at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas after a nine-month relationship.[62][63]
