Carol Smillie - Definition and Overview

Carol Smillie (born December 23, 1961) is a British television personality, best known for presenting the BBC series Changing Rooms. She was born in Glasgow, Scotland and is the author of Carol Smillie's Working Mum's Handbook.

Her major break in television was as the co-presenter of Scottish Television's Wheel of Fortune game show.

In 2004 she took part in a reality television/documentary called Gender Swap for UK television station five. Using cleverly applied silicon prosthetic makeup, she was transformed from female to male and ex EastEnders actor Shaun Williamson male to female. They were then given the challenge of attending a speed dating event as their new opposite sex selves. Also in 2004, she became one of the celebrities to take part in Strictly Ice Dancing, a one-off ice dance version of Strictly Come Dancing.

Although Carol's surname suggests it should be pronounced smill-lee, it is in fact pronounced smile-lee.

She lives in Glasgow with her restaurateur husband Alex Knight and three children, Christie, Robbie and Jodie.
