She currently co-hosts Radio 1's Going Home show alongside Vick Hope and Jamie Laing, having previously been host of Life Hacks and The Official Chart: First Look.
Born in Manchester, Thistleton attended Droylsden High School for Girls.

Thistleton previously worked for the NHS Pennine Care mental health trust.
Thistleton is best known for her work presenting in CBBC HQ (previously the CBBC Office), hosting the live 'bits in between the shows'. She has done this since she was headhunted for the job in 2013 whilst working behind the scenes for CBBC as a PA and Researcher.
She hosted the CBBC Book Club on the CBBC channel. The Book Club role has seen Thistleton interviewing many leading authors, including David Baddiel, Cressida Cowell, Jeff Kinney, Michael Rosen, Holly Smale, and Jacqueline Wilson.
Thistleton has also appeared on a variety of CBBC shows, including All Over the Place, Blue Peter, Jedward's Big Adventure, The Dog Ate My Homework, and Sam & Mark's Big Friday Wind-Up. In March 2019, Katie Thistleton announced she would be leaving CBBC to focus on new projects. Her last day was on 29 March.
Away from children's television, Thistleton has also appeared on Celebrity Eggheads, Celebrity Mastermind, and Children in Need. In December 2024, she came third in a celebrity edition of PopMaster TV, behind fellow BBC radio presenters OJ Borg and Bob Harris.
In addition to her televised literary work, Thistleton has hosted author events organised by publishing houses, including Hachette, HarperCollins, and Penguin.
