Early life

While at school, she took jobs in a chocolate factory, as a farrier, and, while studying drama at Loughborough University, [1] she was a nanny and manager of Santa's grotto. [4]

Television

Rogers started her television career behind the scenes working as a researcher on shows including Johnny Vaughan's The Fall Guy, The Girlie Show , Absolutely Animals and Light Lunch with fellow researcher Dermot O'Leary.

While Rogers was working as an assistant producer and not wishing to miss the World Cup, a friend suggested she audition for the football show Under the Moon on Channel 4. [4] She first starred on Channel 4's The Big Breakfast in June 2000, when she hosted the "Find Me a Weather Presenter" segment. This resulted in an irregular role, which led to later co-presenting, before the show ended in March 2002. She was also the presenter of the reality television show The Block . She played the character Tanya in the 2000 TV mini series Lock, Stock... , a spin-off from the film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels .

From 2002 to 2008, Rogers co-presented the Channel 4 engineering game show Scrapheap Challenge alongside Robert Llewellyn. To date, Rogers is the show's second-longest standing presenter, after Llewellyn. The duo also presented the spin-off series The Scrappy Races from 2003 to 2005. In 2003, Rogers also presented the ITV documentary series Mistresses, [5] and appeared as a regular panellist on Loose Women .

As of 2008, Rogers has most recently been seen as the presenter of Sunshine for Channel 4, which previewed the new Danny Boyle film of the same name, and as a regular presenter of Sky One's motoring programme Vroom Vroom .

In August 2008, Rogers presented a documentary that ended up becoming a polemic about genital plastic surgery, The Perfect Vagina. [6] [7] In 2009, she reunited with Llewellyn for an episode of his web-based interview series Carpool .

Personal life

Rogers' family originates from Trellech near Monmouth. [1] [3] [8]

In the summer of 2000, she started a relationship with actor Ralf Little. [9] In 2003, she entered into a two-year relationship with former Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable; Stuart was married at the time. [1] [5] They were seeing each other at the time he was sacked from the group. [10] She currently lives in Monmouthshire with her two daughters, Florence and Mimi. [3] [11] [1]

Rogers married in August 2015. [3]
