	Aggie MacKenzie Aggie, who shot to fame in 2003 in the Channel 4 series “How Clean Is Your House?”, was born in Aviemore, Scotland. She was taught the art of cleaning by her mother, who deployed a dizzying array of remedies for spots and stains! Aggie discovered an aptitude for languages while she was at school and studied for a bilingual secretarial qualification in Aberdeen before moving to London to work at the Foreign Office. Says Aggie: ‘On my first day they told me I’d been security-screened and would actually be working for MI6!’ She hadn’t envisaged a career as Miss Moneypenny and after two years of high-level secrets crossing her desk she left to join the press office of the National Union of Students. From there Aggie’s career moved on to journalism and she worked on a string of national titles before becoming associate editor at Good Housekeeping magazine, in charge of the Good Housekeeping Institute. As well as devising and triple-testing hundreds of recipes every year, the institute tests all the latest consumer appliances and investigates new cleaning products and gadgets, so it seemed a natural progression when, in August 2002, Aggie was asked if she’d like to be considered for a TV series. At the screen test she was introduced to Kim ­ and the rest is history. They are currently filming their third series in the UK, but it doesn’t stop there… The appeal of the dynamic cleaning team has now spread to America, too, where How Clean Is Your House? is airing on the Lifetime Channel. Guest appearances have included the Oprah  show.www.aggiemackenzie.co.uk
