Kate Quilton Net Worth And Career

Having started working during her college days, Kate has managed to acquire a lot of experience. She got her first TV reporter job for ITV West which was followed by more projects later. With nearly 15 years of work experience in the entertainment industry, one can assume Kate Quilton’s net worth must be a notable figure.

Likewise, Kate used to shoot a segment on the local football team in between lectures at her university. After graduation, Quilton spent a year focusing on a live science show for young people around the world for the Institute of Engineering and Technology. That helped her land the role of a broadcast journalist for the BBC in Somerset.

The blonde presenter started working for Channel 4 in 2008 and ran the online editorial for some of its biggest shows for six years. She soon became one of the channel’s promising commissioning editors. She also worked on a few award-winning projects, which must have increased her income massively.


Having presented a four-part series, Superfoods: The Real Story, in 2015, Kate garnered massive recognition earning her a second season of six episodes. James Lance’s wife also presented The Shopper’s Guide to Saving Money in 2015, followed by the Tricks of the Restaurant Trade with Simmon Rimmer, which also aired a second season.

With all these projects, we can assume that Kate has managed to amass a significant sum of money. Likewise, an average salary of a television presenter in England is $44,454 (£37,540). So, Quilton’s paycheck must also be significant. Hence, Kate Quilton’s net worth must be considerable.

Love At First Sight; Has A Son

As mentioned above, the journalist is happily married to her handsome actor spouse, James. The presenter met her hubby at the Edinburgh Festival and said it was love at first sight. Lance was in a play while she was there for the TV festival. Quilton also instantly felt lucky to see him and even predicted having his babies.

The pair exchanged their wedding vows in June 2016. In addition, Kate Quilton’s husband has been nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor In A Comedy Series for Ted Lasso in the 2022 Emmys.
