Daisy Donovan is an English television host, and actress born on July 11, 1975 in Brooklyn, New York. She is the daughter of the late photographer Terence Donovan. Her mother meanwhile is the Chairwoman of the English National Ballet School. She attended the St. Paul’s Girls School and eventually went to Cambridge University and took up Classical Literature, but she shifted to Edinburgh University and graduated with a degree in performing arts. She then went to the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art.

She first was a receptionist, and eventually became a runner on The Eleven O’Clock Show. The show’s producers were in search of a female interviewer, who, instead of acting out straight would rather use comedic lines and tried Daisy Donovan. She then made appearances as the ‘It Girl’, Pandora Box-Grainger. Because of her comedic performance each time the cameras go on the roll, Daisy Donovan was promoted to presenter. She then became the ‘Angel of Delight’ who was let loose to interview politicians. In one episode, she asked British Labour politician Denis Healey if he would ever give Margaret Thatcher a pearl necklace. This comedic yet strong willed interview led her to a hosting job with co-actor Iain Lee on the same show from late 1999 to 2000. In the middle of 1999, the executives of BBC 4 were rumored to be considering her as the new host of The Big Breakfast, but no further details followed.

Being on of Britain’s best comediennes and presenters, Daisy Donovan moved on to be the host of Does Doug Know? and Daisy Daisy, which she wrote and produced. In 2006, Daisy Donovan presented the British Fashion Awards. She as well gained fame and recognition from the American audiences with her show Daisy Does America.
