Early life
The middle of three children born to journalist-turned-television-presenter Esther Rantzen, and producer Desmond Wilcox, she has an older sister, Emily, and younger brother, Josh.[1][2][3] Wilcox was educated at Queen's College, London and Somerville College, University of Oxford,[2] where she gained a degree in English Language and Literature.
Career
Wilcox started as a television researcher, and then became an assistant producer on programmes such as ITV's Hell's Kitchen, and Cops with Cameras, along with Five's Trust Me - I'm A Holiday Rep.
She was first seen on camera as an undercover reporter on BBC Three's six-part series Conning the Conmen, and then supporting Gok Wan on Channel 4's How to Look Good Naked.[3] In autumn 2008,[4] Wilcox presented a biography on the British Formula One superstar Lewis Hamilton entitled Lewis Hamilton: Billion Dollar Man for BBC Three, which was later broadcast on BBC One.
In April 2009, she co-presented BBC Three's experimental series My Life as an Animal with Terry Nutkins.[5] In July 2009, Wilcox appeared in a one-off, hour-long documentary aired on BBC Three entitled Mischief: Britain's Embarrassing Emissions, to find out whether anyone really does care about the environment, and whether some of the big businesses could be deemed guilty of greenwashing.[2][6] She is currently a presenter on Watchdog and Your Money Their Tricks.
Personal life
In September 2009, she married auditor James 'Jim' Moss, whom she met at Oxford, in a Jewish ceremony at her mother's home in the New Forest.[1] The couple live in London with their newborn son, Benjamin Beowulf Desmond Moss.[3]
