Early life

Kanak Asha Huq was born in the Hammersmith district of London on 17 July 1975,[1][2] the daughter of Muslim parents who emigrated from Bangladesh in the 1960s.[2][3][4] She grew up in the Ealing district of London with her two elder sisters, Nutun and future Labour Party politician Rupa. She attended Notting Hill & Ealing High School and obtained nine GCSEs, then gained A-levels in chemistry, mathematics, and physics.[5] She went on to study economics at Robinson College, Cambridge, graduating with a 2:1 degree.[4][6]

Career

Early work

Huq trained part-time at the National Youth Music Theatre.[7] In 1989, at the age of 14, she appeared with them on Blue Peter and sang a solo.[8] The following year, she appeared alongside Jude Law in Captain Stirrick, a National Youth Music Theatre production.[9]

Before the 1992 general election, Huq interviewed Labour leader Neil Kinnock for the children's programme Newsround, and appeared as a contestant on Blockbusters in the same year.[10] She also appeared as an uncredited extra playing a schoolgirl in the BBC1 sitcom 2point4 Children in the Series 2 episode "I'm Going Slightly Mad".[11]

Her presenting debut, at the age of 16, was on the satellite television show, TVFM.[12] She then appeared on a GMTV Saturday morning children's quiz show entitled Eat Your Words between 1994 and 1996.[13] She was assisted by Mark Speight before Simon Parkin took over. In 1997, several months before joining Blue Peter, Huq presented Channel Five's early morning children's programme Milkshake![14]

Blue Peter

Huq presented the BBC children's television programme Blue Peter, starting on 1 December 1997.[15][16] Early in her term as a presenter, she visited the village in Bangladesh where earlier generations of her family lived.[15] 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.[17][18] For the programme's 2004 Welcome Home appeal, she visited Angola, hoping to reunite children and their families who had been separated due to war.[19] In 2008, during her last programme, she broke a Guinness World Record by pinning 17 Blue Peter Badges onto fellow presenter Andy Akinwolere's shirt in a minute.[20] In March 2007, she apologised on air on behalf of the programme to viewers, after the result of a competition to identify the celebrity owner of a pair of shoes was faked.[21]

On 31 May 2007, Huq announced that she would be leaving Blue Peter. On 22 January 2008, she hosted her final Blue Peter, with a clip show of her highlights through the ten years she had been on the programme.[22] She is the third longest-serving Blue Peter presenter and its longest-serving female host, having passed Valerie Singleton's record on 1 October 2007.[23]

The show was a "Hannah Montana themed karaoke-style game show".[36] Huq also presented the seventh 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.[37]

In February 2011 Huq appeared in an episode of the ITV2 documentary programme Under Pressure, where she attempted to learn how to be a rapper. Trailers for the show asked "Will Konnie Huq it up?"[38] She was coached by Akala and performed at indigO2.[15]

For two consecutive years she presented the Royal Shakespeare Company's Live from Stratford upon Avon, a web project aimed at showing theatre productions in schools. In July 2012 the project web-streamed a performance of I, Cinna (The Poet), a play by Tim Crouch about the poet in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar killed by a mob after being mistaken for a conspirator. In November 2013 a recording of the Globe Theatre production of Richard II was shown in 3,000 schools. The performances were followed by a question-and-answer session hosted by Huq.[39]

In December 2009, Huq won the Best Rising Star Screenplay Angel award at the Monaco International Film Festival for her screenplay Ahmed and Mildred,[52][53] a story described as "a superhero themed journey into the imagination of two young infants as they experience love at first sight."[54] In March 2014, Ahmed and Mildred was selected as one of the projects to receive funding from Film London to enable production to take place.[55]

She co-wrote the second episode of the Channel 4 anthology series Black Mirror, "Fifteen Million Merits", which is a satire of entertainment shows, with her husband Charlie Brooker.[56] An installation featuring extracts from the episode was installed at the Barbican Centre as part of the science-fiction themed exhibition "Into the Unknown" in 2017.[57]

Children's books

Her book for children Cookie and the Most Annoying Boy in the World was published in 2019 and is the first of a projected three-book series.[61] The book centres around the fictional character Cookie Haque, a schoolchild who enjoys learning about science, and what happens when her best friend moves away, and a boy that Cookie considers the most annoying boy in the world moves next door. Huq wrote and illustrated the book.[62][61][63] The character of Cookie has been described by Huq as "a cross between Wimpy Kid and Bridget Jones."[63] As of May 2020, the next book in the series, with a theme of climate change, was due to be published in August 2020.[63]
