It has been quite the 12 months for Katie, who also worked on the snooker earlier this year.
She worked for the BBC and Sky Sports in production roles before landing a job as a football reporter for ITV, appearing on screens during coverage of England Women.
Katie was named as the new snooker presenter on Channel 5’s broadcast of the Players Championship, Tour Championship and British Open.

Ahead of her snooker debut, she said: “I’m here, there and everywhere. I’m mainly with ITV, Sky Sports and talkSPORT now and I’ve spent seven years at the BBC.
“I would probably say I’m a multi-sport presenter. It’s been heavily football, but I love all sport. I’ve covered five major football tournaments, two Olympic Games, one Winter Olympics and the Commonwealth Games. I’ve covered rugby, NFL, a Women’s Cricket World Cup final at Lords.
“I can’t wait to get stuck into the snooker next.”
