Since emerging as the first female winner of Big Brother, Kate has gone on to establish herself as a television presenter, personality, a model and one of London's top disc jockeys. Lawler, who was born in Beckenham and still has family in the area, took her first steps into the DJ community as a presenter on Capital Radio in 2002. She has since established herself throughout Europe as well as Japan and currently hosts a resident night in Manchester. As well as Kate on the decks the line up includes Scott Hayhoe, James Murray, Williams & Du Bois. The club is situated in Terminus Place, Victoria, London. For more information about the event, visit the official website . Another Beckenham DJ hoping to follow in the footsteps of Kate Lawler is 31-year-old Anthony Ghosh, also known as DJ Talent.

Best known for his memorable performance on this years 'Britain's got Talent' TV show, Ghosh made it through to the semi finals of the live show which led to him performing his catchy rap in front of thousands on the show's national tour. Speaking about his year, Mr Ghosh, of The Avenue, Beckenham, said: “It was a dream come true. “Doing Britain’s Got Talent was the best opportunity and I look at my good friend Susan Boyle and it has been amazing for her.” He added: “If you have talent then you could go down a treat because if you want to make it in the record industry you need to go on Britain’s Got Talent or X Factor. “I was working hard on my music before the show but Britain’s Got Talent was the icing on the cake.” Mr Ghosh is now working on an album and says his single I Say Britain is still available to download from iTunes.
