Naomi Wilkinson
In January Naomi will have been presenting children’s television non-stop for 20 years. She has been a nominee twice in the Best Presenter category for her own show ‘Naomi’s Nightmares of Nature’ at the Children’s BAFTA Awards (2014 & 2016). Across 4 series, Naomi travelled the globe coming face to face with the nasty nightmares of the natural world, conquering her fears in numerous, extreme challenges along the way, like: skydiving in South Africa, sleeping up a tree in the jungles of Costa Rica, coming nose to nose underwater with a 4.8m crocodile in Australia and swimming with sharks, without a cage… 7 times! The series was nominated for Best Children’s Programme at the 2015 Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival and won the Best Children's category at the West of England RTS Awards.
Naomi has presented many items for BBC One's ‘Countryfile’ and in 2016 judged their Wildlife photographic competition alongside John Craven and Bill Bailey.
Since 2010 she has been consistently presenting for CBBC where she hosts a wide variety of programmes covering nature, adventure, factual entertainment, arts, music and live entertainment. Naomi presents ‘Marrying Mum & Dad’, ‘Wild & Weird’, ‘All Over The Place’ & regularly appears as a guest across the channel on other popular shows like ‘Blue Peter’, ‘Sam & Mark’s Big Friday Wind Up’ and ‘The Dog Ate My Homework’.
For 10 years before moving to CBBC, Naomi was both the presenter and producer of Channel 5’s ‘Milkshake!'.
