Cherry Kathleen Healey (born Cherry Kathleen Chadwyck-Healey, 5 December 1980) is a British television presenter, frequently featuring in self-titled lifestyle documentaries on the BBC.

Early life

Healey is descended from the Chadwyck-Healey baronets; her father Nicholas is a son of the 4th Baronet. She has three brothers. She attended Cheltenham Ladies' College until 1999.[1] She has a Degree in Drama Education/Drama for Social Change from the Central School of Speech and Drama.

Career

Best known for her work with light-hearted documentaries on BBC Three, including studies on drinking, childbirth, body issues, dating, and money,[2] Healey frequently relates documentaries to her own life both during the programmes and on her blog on the BBC website.[3] She presented a mini-series called Britain's Favourite Supermarket Foods on BBC One.

From 2015 until 2019, Healey presented the E4 spin-off The Jump: On the Piste.

From 2013 until 2015, Healey appeared in TV commercials shown in the United States and Canada, for Cottonelle toilet paper, in which she approached random people and asked them to use Cottonelle and "go commando" – meaning without underwear – to demonstrate how effectively Cottonelle cleaned them.[4]

Healey has also written for several publications including Grazia, You Me Baby magazine, and Cellardoor online.

She has co-presented four series of Inside the Factory for BBC Two alongside Gregg Wallace. In 2016, Healey took part in Celebrity MasterChef on BBC One. In 2017–2018 her BBC series Find My First Love is being syndicated in the US on FYI.

Healey co-presents a podcast called The Hotbed, hosted on Acast, which talks about sex and long-term relationships. It reached No.14 in the Apple podcasts chart, and has been described as "your cringe-free, light-hearted and straight-talking take on sex".[5]

Personal life

In Summer 2010, Healey married her long-term partner Roly Allen. The couple have a daughter, born 2007,[6][7] and a son, born 2013. Healey and Allen later separated and divorced.[8]
