Dawn O'Porter

Television presenter and writer Dawn O'Porter started her media career after studying at Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts. Following college, where she dropped out in the third year, she moved to London and gained early work experience behind the camera on the TV show Baddiel and Skinner Unplanned.

She made her transition into television presenting by appearing on the Channel 4 comedy show Balls of Steel, which saw her testing the morals of British men. Following this, she went on to secure a publishing deal with Virgin Books for her novel, 'Diaries of an Internet Lover', which was a journal of her experiences of meeting people on the Internet. The book was very well received and went on to be published in German, Dutch and Portuguese.

Dawn then came to widespread public attention when she attempted to slim down to a size zero by using drastic dieting regimes for the BBC documentary Super Slim Me. The documentary enjoyed critical acclaim. She also presented the product-testing section of How to Look Good Naked on Channel 4.

Despite all her television work over the years, Dawn considers writing her primary career, covering feminism and all aspects of women's lifestyle. She regularly contributes to various national publications such as The Daily Mail, Cosmopolitan, Company Magazine and the Sunday Times.

Dawn is the bestselling author of 9 books, YA novels Paper Aeroplanes and Goose were Waterstones Children’s Prize nominees. And The Cows, So Lucky, Cat Lady, and her non-fiction title Life in Pieces were all Sunday Times Best Sellers and her book Honeybee shot straight to the top of the bestsellers list on Amazon.

Dawn also designs dresses for Joanie, is one of the Co-Founders of Choose Love - a charity for which she heads up multiple fundraising ventures, and is a producer of Flackstock Festival - an event created in honour of her late friend, Caroline Flack.
