Proving her all round sporting talent, she also competed for Great Britain in the bobsleigh and was part of Team GB that secured silver at the 2005 World Championships.

Caroline’s sporting prowess continued when she was signed up as one of Sky 1’s new Gladiators in the re-launch of the popular show last year. Playing Gladiator ‘Ice’ it’s likely you’ve seen Caroline swinging from the rings, climbing the wall or bringing contenders down in Power Ball!

It’s not all action for Caroline. She has a first class honours degree in Sport Science and Masters Degree in Exercise Physiology, both from Loughborough University. Her undergraduate dissertation formed part of the British Heart Foundation’s study of the effects of differing diets on triglyceride levels in the body, whilst her Masters thesis focused on prolonged exercise and the effects of energy drinks on subsequent immune responses.

With her education, sporting background and media and modelling experience, Caroline presents and delivers motivational speeches as well as well as scripting and delivering workout videos and programming for UK and US markets.
