Kate Thornton Biography

Kate Thornton is one of the most popular and richest TV Show Host who was born on February 7, 1973 in England, United Kingdom. Most famously known as the host of the seasons one through three on the English reality show The X Factor, this TV personality also hosted an ITV celebrity interview show named Loose Women.

When she was working on The ITV program Straight Up, Thornton was given the task of creating an princess Diana special on Diana’s sudden death. Thornton set the tribute on Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind,” which in turn inspired John to create a second version of the track with special lyrics to honor the princess.

Thornton started her career at the Sunday Mirror in 1992 as an editorial assistant. She later became a pop-music columnist for the Daily Mirror. While in this role, Thornton was instrumental in initiating a media controversy concerning the British musical group Pulp. Prior to the release of the band’s single “Sorted for E’s & Wizz” in 1995, the Daily Mirror printed a front-page story headed “BAN THIS SICK STUNT” alongside a story by Kate Thornton which said the song was “pro-drugs” and called for the single to be banned. The pre- release single had an inlay which Thornton alleged showed how to make an origami ‘wrap’ or parcel with the intention of “offering teenage fans a DIY guide on hiding illegal drugs”. In an interview with music paper NME on the same day, Thornton was quoted to say: “We wanted to see the sleeve pulled and we thought it was a crusade we would take up single-handedly. I think the sleeve is something that will concern our readers, although it may not concern yours.” The band agreed to change the artwork, while continuing to assert that Thornton had misinterpreted the meaning of both the sleeve art and the song’s lyrics. Lead singer Jarvis Cocker released a statement two days later saying: “…’Sorted’ is not a pro-drugs song… Nowhere on the sleeve does it say you are supposed to put drugs in here but I understand the confusion… I wouldn’t want anything we do to encourage people to take drugs because they aren’t a solution or an answer to anything. I don’t think anyone who listens to Sorted would come away thinking it had a pro drugs message. If they did I would say they had misinterpreted it.”

In 1995, she became the youngest ever editor of pop magazine Smash Hits at age 22, producing her first issue in February 1996 covering the breakup of boy- band Take That. She left a year later, having been unable to prevent a further slide in sales of the magazine. In 1997, she became a Features Editor at the Sunday Times, a post she held until 2001, and also a contributing Editor for magazine Marie Claire, in which position she continued until 2003.

Her seven-year marriage to British DJ Darren Emerson resulted in a son named Ben.
