Early life
The middle of three children born to journalist-turned-television-presenter Esther Rantzen, and producer Desmond Wilcox, she has an older sister, Emily, and younger brother, Josh. Wilcox was educated at Queen's College, London and Somerville College, Oxford, where she gained a degree in English Language and Literature.
Career
Wilcox started as a television researcher, and then became an assistant producer on programmes such as ITV's Hell's Kitchen, and Cops with Cameras, along with Five's Trust Me - I'm A Holiday Rep.
She was first seen on camera as an undercover reporter on BBC Three's six-part series Conning the Conmen, and then supporting Gok Wan on Channel 4's How to Look Good Naked. In autumn 2007, Wilcox presented a biography on the British Formula One superstar Lewis Hamilton entitled Lewis Hamilton: Billion Dollar Man for BBC Three, which was later broadcast on BBC One.
In April 2009, she co-presented BBC Three's experimental series My Life as an Animal with Terry Nutkins. In July 2009, Wilcox appeared in a one-off, hour-long documentary aired on BBC Three entitled Mischief: Britain's Embarrassing Emissions, to find out whether anyone really does care about the environment, and whether some of the big businesses could be deemed guilty of greenwashing. She is currently a presenter on Watchdog and Your Money, Their Tricks.
