Television presenter. Born in Rothiemurchus (Highland), the daughter of a blacksmith, MacKenzie was educated at Kingussie High School and in Aberdeen.

With Kim Woodburn, she presented the successful television series How Clean Is Your House?, which led to an award-winning book. This ran from 2003 on Channel Four Television. This was followed by Too Posh to Wash (2004), also for Channel Four. She also appears regularly on the daytime-TV programme Loose Women.

She now lives in London with her architect-husband and two sons.
