Gillian Burke

Gillian joined the BBC's much-loved Springwatch in 2018 alongside hosts Chris Packham, Michaela Strachan & Iolo Williams. She has also presented the BBC's Blue Planet UK with co-host Steve Brown.

Having earned her Bachelor's Degree in Bology from Bristol University, Gillian pursued a career in natural history filmmaking, working her way up the ranks from Researcher to Producer/Director on several Animal Planet and Discovery Channel series.

Whether from the natural world or the human world, she is drawn to the rich vein of stories that are full of universal themes of awe and wonder, defeat and victory, struggle and survival.
