Lisa Rogers (born Lisa Clare Elaine Rogers, 7 September 1971 in Lydney, Gloucestershire) is a British television presenter. She has appeared in films, television programmes, theatre and radio.

Career

Early life

While at school she took jobs in a chocolate factory and as a cleaner, and while studying drama at Loughborough University, she was a nanny and manager of Santa’s grotto.

Television

Rogers started her television career behind the scenes working as a researcher on shows including Johnny Vaughan’s The Fall Guy, The Girlie Show, Absolutely Animals and Light Lunch with fellow researcher Dermot O’Leary.

While Rogers was working as an assistant producer and not wishing to miss the World Cup, a friend suggested she audition for the football show Under the Moon on Channel 4. She first starred on Channel 4’s The Big Breakfast in June 2000, when she hosted the “Find Me a Weather Presenter” segment. This resulted in an irregular role, which led to later co-presenting, before the show ended in March 2002. She was also the presenter of the reality television show The Block. Rogers regularly wore large hoop earrings during this period, something that became her trademark. She played the character Tanya in the 2000 TV mini series Lock, Stock…, a spin-off from the film Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels.

From 2002 to 2008, Rogers co-presented the Channel 4 engineering game show Scrapheap Challenge alongside Robert Llewellyn. To date, Rogers is the show’s second-longest standing presenter, after Llewellyn. The duo also presented the spin-off series The Scrappy Races from 2003 to 2005. In 2003, Rogers also presented the ITV documentary series Mistresses, and appeared as a regular panellist on Loose Women.

As of 2008, Rogers has most recently been seen as the presenter of Sunshine for Channel 4, which previewed the new Danny Boyle film of the same name, and as a regular presenter of Sky One’s motoring programme Vroom Vroom.

In August 2008, what started as a job as presenter of a documentary ended up becoming a polemic about genital plastic surgery, The Perfect Vagina, with her changed status being reflected as “Author” rather than simply “Presenter”. In 2009, she reunited with Llewellyn for an episode of his web-based interview series, Carpool.

Rogers is also one of eight celebrities chosen to participate in an intense week learning Welsh in an eco-friendly chic campsite in Pembrokeshire in the series [email protected]:love4language shown on S4C in May 2012.

Personal life

Rogers’ family originates from Trellech near Monmouth. She had a high-profile relationship with Ralf Little, before splitting in 2002. In 2003, she entered into an affair with the late former Stereophonics drummer Stuart Cable. They were seeing each other at the time he was sacked from the group. She currently lives in Monmouthshire, with her two daughters from a relationship with an ex-Scrapheap Challenge contestant. Rogers was pregnant while presenting the 2007 series of Scrapheap, and in the episode featuring a Wellington boot-throwing contest, she joked that if she got any more excited she would go into labour.

She is best known as a member of former American R&B girl group Destiny’s Child, one of the best-selling girl groups of all time. Early Life: Kelly Rowland was born Kelendria Trene Rowland on February 11, 1981, in Atlanta, Georgia. She is the daughter of Christopher Lovett and Doris Rowland Garrison. When she was six years old, her mother left her father, who was an abusive alcoholic and suffering from PTSD. She and her mother, along with her brother Orlando, moved to Houston. In 1995, Rowland moved in with friend and future bandmate Beyonce Knowles and her family. Destiny’s Child: In the early ’90s, Kelly Rowland and Beyoncé Knowles performed as part of the band Girl’s Tyme; the group even competed on the nationally televised talent show Star Search. Although they lost, they continued to perform at local schools, daycare centers, and other events around Houston, slowly gaining recognition for their singing and dancing talent. They auditioned for record labels and initially were signed to Elektra Records, only to be dropped a month later. By 1997, the group had signed a record deal with Columbia under the name Destiny’s Child, managed by Matthew Knowles, Beyoncé Knowles’ father. The band finally had a breakthrough with the release of their multi-platinum second album The Writing’s on the Wall in 1999. This album contained many of their most well-known hits, including “Bills, Bills, Bills,” “Jumpin Jumpin,” and “Say My Name.” The latter became their most successful song at the time and went on to win Grammy awards. In 2000, the group appeared on the Charlie’s Angels soundtrack with their song “Independent Women Part 1.” The success of the track catapulted the ladies to instant fame.  Their third album, Survivor, was released in May 2001 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts. This album spawned the number one insta-hit “Bootylicious.” To date, Survivor has sold over 12 million copies worldwide. Solo Career: Following the disbandment of Destiny’s Child in 2005, Rowland released her second album Ms. Kelly (2007), which included international hits “Like This” and “Work.” In 2009, Rowland served as a host on the first season of The Fashion Show and was featured on DJ David Guetta’s No. 1 dance hit “When Love Takes Over.” The song’s global success influenced Rowland to explore dance music on her third album Here I Am (2011), which spawned the international top-ten hit “Commander” and US R&B/Hip-Hop No. 1 “Motivation.” In 2011, the singer attracted media attention after experiencing a wardrobe malfunction during a concert in New Jersey.

The film got mixed reviews but topped the U.S. box office with a whopping $36.4 million on its first weekend and resulting in a worldwide box office total of $114 million. She returned to the big screen in 2005, playing a lead role in The Seat Filler, opposite Duane Martin and Shemar Moore. The movie was produced by Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. The Seat Filler was released to just a limited number of festivals and went straight to DVD in 2006. Rowland also sang two songs for the soundtrack. Rowland auditioned for the role of Louise in the Sex and the City movie in 2008 but lost out to Jennifer Hudson.
