Julia Bradbury

TV presenter Julia Bradbury was born in Dublin to a Greek mother and a Derbyshire born father. The family moved back to the UK in the early 70's to settle in Rutland, Britain’s smallest county. Julia went to school in Sheffield and got afternoon’s off to take part in the Crucible Theatre’s Peter Pan, where she donned a fishtail and played a mermaid in her first professional engagement. After leaving school she moved to London, and worked in the family’s fashion business before breaking into television. Julia became a household name as the hugely popular co-presenter of BBC TV’s ‘Countryfile’ - and she starts shooting a new walking series for ITV in September following the recent birth of her twins, Zena and Xanthie
