Catherine Gee

Catherine Gee (born July 1967) is a television presenter best known for presenting the BBC relocation programme, "Escape to the Country", being the location presenter on the long running "Through the Keyhole" and running "Country Living's" "The Farmer Wants a Wife" matchmaking campaign and presenting the related television programme.

She has had a range of careers including working as a personal chef in the City, an estate agent before she joined "Country Living" as an Editor' Assistant in 1995. It was whilst she was Head of Shows, organising such events as the Country Living Fairs, that in 1999 she became involved in the magazines first matchmaking campaign for farmers "The Farmer Wants a Wife". She ran the second campaign which was televised by Thames TV and was nominated for a BAFTA in 2002.

It was as a result of this that she was spotted and approached by Talkback Productions to present, firstly, their new BBC2 property relocation show "Escape to the Country" in 2002, and then to replace Loyd Grossman in 2004 as Sir David Frost's location presenter on the long running "Through the Keyhole".
