Here's Where Your Favourite '00s CBBC Stars Are Today

Dani Harmer is best known for her role as troubled kid Tracy Beaker, whose antics at the Dumping Ground (aka her care home) saw her get into all kinds of scrapes. Fast forward to 2020, Harmer is now the proud mother of 4-year-old daughter Avarie-Belle, and is set to reprise her role as Beaker in an upcoming three-part drama based on the character's life as a mum herself.

Konnie Huq was a regular CBBC fixture between 1997 and 2008, becoming the longest-serving female Blue Peter presenter. Since then, Huq moved has onto a string of new projects, including a presenting stint on ITV2's The Xtra Factor and the Thinking Out Loud podcast. In 2010, the CBBC favourite married Black Mirror creator Charlie Brook, and the pair have since had two children together.

Angellica Bell was one of the main CBBC presenters between 2000 and 2006, primarily hosting segments between shows, but also fronting the likes of Xchange and 50/50. Today, Bell is a mother of two and married to fellow CBBC alumni Michael Underwood. Since departing the children's television scene, Bell has kept busy with several presenting gigs, most recently on BBC's The One Show, The Big Family Cooking Showdown, and The Martin Lewis Money Show.

James Mackenzie, aka the Raven, appeared as the immortal Scottish warlord on the popular CBBC gameshow until 2010. A decade later, Mackenzie is still a regular fixture on British children's television and currently plays a widower father in the Cbeebies series Molly and Mack. Interestingly, the former Raven host also previously starred alongside Tracey Beaker's Dani Harmer in the CBBC comedy-drama Dani's House, which ran for five series until 2012.

This dynamic presenting duo fronted the slapstick Dick and Dom in da Bungalow throughout their CBBC stint. In 2020, the pair appeared to have calmed down and ventured into the medium of podcasts with not one, but two audio series. Most recently The Dick and Dom Debate, which is billed as a Question Time-style show for the Dick and Dom generation.

It's been almost 20 years since Jake Humphrey's CBBC debut, and the presenter was perhaps best known as being the face of Sportsround and Bamzooki. Nowadays, Humphrey's works as the main presenter of BT Sport's football coverage, and also currently hosts The High Performance Podcast alongside Professor Damian Hughes, in which the pair offer "an intimate glimpse into the lives of high-achieving, successful individuals."

Julie Wilson Nimmo appeared as the delightful nursery teacher Miss Hoolie throughout Balamory's impressive 254 episode-run. Although her performance in the CBBC hit is perhaps what she's best known for, Nimmo has since moved on to several new projects, including the BBC comedy Scot Squad and Still Game, in which she starred alongside her now-husband, Greg Hemphill.

In addition to his role on the hit teen drama Byker Grove, Andrew Hayden-Smith was also a familiar presenting face on CBBC until his departure in 2006. In 2020, Hayden-Smith has plenty more acting and hosting gigs under his belt, and recently appeared as DS Gavin Armstrong in the long-running Channel 4 soap Hollyoaks.

Back in the day, Georgina Leonidas was known by many for her portrayal of Molly in The Basil Brush Show. However, following her CBBC departure in 2007, Leonidas became more recognised as Harry Potter's Katie Bell, after appearing in the fantasy franchise's final three films. Elsewhere, the actor has also starred in the BBC period drama Father Brown, and has several impressive theatre credits to her name.

The loveable Dave Benson-Phillips was a prominent figure in the sphere of children's television throughout the late '90s and noughties, hosting the likes of Playhouse Disney, and of course, the hit CBBC gameshow Get Your Own Back. Now, Dave is better known for his award-winning mockumentary web-series Getting Back with Dave Benson Phillips, and his recent venture into the world of professional wrestling. Yes, seriously.
