Mini Biography
Megan "Meg" Prescott (born 4 June 1991 in London, England) is an English actress and bodybuilder who is best known for her role as Katie Fitch in the double BAFTA-winning teen drama Skins (2007). Prescott was born in Palmers Green, London, and is six minutes younger than her twin sister Kathryn Prescott, who is also an actress. She received her primary education at Palmers Green High School, secondary schooling at St. John's Senior School, and finally Ashmole for her Sixth Form College education. She has also studied television production with a special in directing at university. Prior to professional acting Prescott and her sister attended weekly drama classes where they would eventually meet future co-star Lily Loveless. Though Prescott made her acting debut in a single episode of the BBC soap opera Doctors (2000) ("Doctors: Dare, Double Dare, Truth (2008)") along with sister Kathryn Prescott in 2008, it wasn't until the following year when she appeared as Katie Fitch in the third series of Skins (2007) that she made a breakthrough in acting. She and her sister, who plays Katie's identical twin Emily Fitch on the show, began filming the third series of Skins (2007) in July 2008 and went on to reprise their roles for the fourth series of the show as well.
