Lara Lewington

Lara Lewington is a technology presenter, journalist and future health specialist whose work blends clear storytelling with deep insight. She is known for her years on the BBC’s flagship technology programme Click, her regular appearances across BBC and ITV platforms and her role as Lorraine’s AI Agony Aunt. Lara’s most recent milestone is her 2025 book ‘Hacking Humanity’, a major exploration of how innovation can reshape health and longevity. Her broadcast range, from consumer tech to advanced science, has made her one of the most trusted communicators in the field.

While still studying, Lara worked as a runner on the game show ‘It’s a Knockout’, gaining a first taste of production and the pace of live environments. She went on to interview guests for the early online chat programme Chatshow.net at a time when slow dial up connections made online video feel experimental. Those years taught her how to adapt, listen and guide conversations, skills that strengthened her later work across national broadcasting. 

Her professional break came with Channel 5, where she became Weather Presenter, Showbiz Reporter and later Technology Presenter, building a broad base across news and entertainment. She then joined Sky News as Entertainment Correspondent before beginning a long and defining chapter at the BBC in 2010. Lara spent fifteen years on Click, becoming Lead Presenter in 2018 and reporting on global breakthroughs from robotics to space technology. She has fronted major programmes including BBC Panorama’s Beyond Human, BBC Radio 4 documentaries such as A Documentary By ChatGPT and Wiki Wars, health tech editions of Woman’s Hour, and technology specials on ITV’s Tonight. Lara is also a familiar voice at leading events, speaking and hosting on the main stages of AI Summit London, London Tech Week, Founders Forum, the Royal Academy of Engineering and many more. 

Audiences and organisers choose Lara Lewington because she brings clarity and warmth to subjects that often feel overwhelming. She covers artificial intelligence, future health, longevity science, innovation in medicine, digital wellbeing and tech ethics. These topics carry real weight for organisations preparing for the next wave of technological change and wanting to understand how innovation will affect people’s work, health and daily lives. Lara explains the possibilities and the limits of technology in a grounded and practical way, leaving audiences better informed and more confident about the future.
