In September of 2002 she became a disc jockey on Capital FM,
a position she held until December 2003. She co-presented
the breakfast TV show RI:SE from February 2003 until it was

the semi-finals of the individual competition by Leilani
Dowding.
She now works as a club disc jockey in Europe and Japan, and
is an occasional columnist for the UK-based celebrity gossip

photo features. On July 24, 2006 Ann Summers announced that
Lawler would be the company's new model in its lingerie
advertisements. In 2006, she appeared on Brainiac: Science

She was a presenter on Playdate, a late-night dating
programme on ITV2, however it has now been axed.
Lawler was engaged to footballer Jonathan Woodgate, they
split due to 'pressure of being apart'. She has been linked
to Russell Brand, though she maintains they are just
friends. Lawler suffers from anorexia, and her weight has
been debated in many glossy magazines. She admitted to
having a stalker in the summer of 2006. Kate Lawler has a
