Kathy Tayler joined TV-am in 1989 as co-presenter of "Good Morning Britain" with Mike Morris and Richard Keys. She later moved to the "After Nine" programme when Jayne Irving left and remained regular presenter until December 1992.
She presented and reported on BBC’s Holiday for 12 years, initially undertaking a variety of weird and wonderful cold, wet, muddy, exhausting, outdoor pursuits. However, when her daughter Rebecca was born in 1991, she changed to reporting family style holidays and 'exotic' trips.
Her husband Alan Olley is a photographer, so Kathy opted to stay at home until her three children were of school age. She has returned to TV, discussing shades of pastel on TV shopping channels.
