Elizabeth Bonnin (born 16 September 1976) is a French-Irish science, wildlife and natural history presenter, who has worked on television in both Ireland and the United Kingdom. She presented morning show RI:SE and music show Top of the Pops in the early 2000s.

She is best known for presenting wildlife and science programmes including Galapagos, How the Earth Works, Animals in Love, Stargazing Live, Blue Planet Live, Cats v Dogs: Which is Best? and Should We Close Our Zoos?. She co-presented the BBC factual series Bang Goes the Theory from 2009 until 2014 and since 2013, has co-presented C

Liz was born in France to a French father and Trinidadian mother of Indian and Portuguese descent, and moved to Ireland when she was nine years old. Having had the chance to immerse herself in all things nature from an early age, she was especially interested in biology and chemistry at school, which led her to study biochemistry at Trinity College, Dublin.

She later completed a Masters in wild animal biology with the Royal Veterinary College and Zoological Society of London, during which she set up a research project to study tigers in Nepal, coming first in her class. Following her Masters, Liz decided to try her hand at sharing her passion for science and natural history on screen.

Liz’s route into science and wildlife presenting was certainly not a premeditated one. After university she took a year out to travel and sing in a band, and ended up presenting the IRMA Music Awards for RTÉ in Ireland. She continued her adventures in entertainment TV for several years, moving to London to present Channel 4’s breakfast show RI:SE and BBC One’s cult music show Top of the Pops. Durin
