Carol Patricia Smillie (born 23 December 1961) is a Scottish television presenter and actress, and a former model. She presented the BBC series ''Changing Rooms''. Smillie has appeared on the BBC television channel, firstly as a reporter on ''The Travel Show'', and then ''Holiday'', often as the programme's presenter. However, it was the DIY programme ''Changing Rooms'' that established her name and led to her presenting other primetime shows for the BBC, such as the ''National Lottery'' and her own morning chat show ''Smillie's People''. Smillie is known for her smile, which was caricatured by the British impressionist Ronni Ancona in the UK television show ''Big Impression''. Ancona's impression of Smillie used the catchphrase "I’m Smiley Smiley Carol Smillie", which Smillie adopted and has entered into popular culture.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lifestyle )〕 ==Early life and modelling== Smillie was born in Glasgow, Scotland, the daughter of George, an electrical engineer, and Isobel Smillie. She is the youngest of four siblings, with two sisters and a brother. Smillie had an idyllic childhood in Glasgow, sharing a room with her two older sisters. Smillie attended Simshill Primary School and the independent Hutchesons' Grammar School. Academically, she did not shine there, but she did eventually attain seven O-grades, including in fabric and fashion. She left the following year with three Highers, but needed five to get into the Glasgow School of Art. Smillie studied at Langside College, but managed only one more, which she has attributed to too much freedom and enjoying herself. Undeterred, she spent another year at Cardonald College, finally achieving this goal. At age 18, in 1979, Smillie embarked on her first year at the Glasgow School of Art, studying Art, Design, and Fashion, with the idea of becoming a fashion designer. Smillie felt she didn't really fit in with the typical punk students sporting green hair and pink shoes. To subsidise her studies, Smillie worked in a cocktail bar, modelling part-time. Smillie left to embark on a modelling career. Smillie joined the Best Modelling Agency, run by Fiona Best. Too short at for catwalk modelling, she booked photo shoots and promotions. Smillie worked for the agency throughout the 1980s. Smillie met her future husband, former model Alex Knight, through Fiona's agency. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carol Smillie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
