Kathryn Prescott Biography – 5 Quick Facts You Need To Know
1. She is a twin
When Kathryn Prescott was born on June 4, 1991, in the Southgate area of London, England, she didn’t come into the world alone. About 6 minutes later, her twin sister Megan was born.
The twin sisters have a younger brother. For their primary education, the sisters attended Palmers Green Secondary School, after which they went to St. John’s Secondary School for their secondary education. The twins are known to like the same kind of things and for Kathryn and Megan, it was no different. As children, they developed a passion for many artistic things, including theater. To hone their acting skills, they attended weekly acting classes where they came to meet their future Skins costar, Lily Loveless.
2. The Prescott sisters acted as twins in a few movies.
Kathryn Prescott and her twin sister Megan started their acting career together. They made their debut playing twin sisters Amy and Charlotte Wilcox in a 2008 episode of BBC soap opera Doctors. While they started together, it was only right that they had their breakthrough and they did. Their big break came when they acted as twins Emily and Katie Fitch, part of the “second generation” in the third season of the teen TV series Skins.
They reprized their roles in the 4th season but skipped the next due to the film’s format which limits each generation to two seasons. However, they returned in 2007 for the Season 7 finale. Emily (Kathryn’s character) quickly won the hearts of fans due to her complex lesbian relationship with girlfriend Noami Campbell (Lily Loveless) as well as the strained relationship that existed between her and her twin Katie Fitch.

After the curtain falls on Skins, the sisters go down separate, career-wise paths. Kathryn then made guest appearances on TV shows like Monroe (2011), Casualty (2012), Bedlam (2012), and Being Human (2013).
