FORMER child star-turned actress and TV host Camille Prats is returning as an actress in GMA’s new afternoon primetime family-oriented TV series, “AraBella” beginning March 6 (Lunes), 3:20 p.m.

The 37-year-old actress and entrepreneur admitted that she’s excited sa pagbabalik sa acting after five years dahil mas nag-focus siya sa pagiging TV host sa pamamagitan ng “Mars” at “Mars Pa More” (also on GMA) na tumagal sa ere sa loob ng sampung taon.

Si Camille ay produkto rin ng popular segment ng longest-running noontime show on Philippine television (and in the world), ang “Eat Bulaga,” ang “Little Miss Philippines. Ito ang kanyang naging pasaporte sa kanyang pagpasok sa showbiz at a young age sa pamamagitan ng youth-oriented TV program ng ABS-CBN, ang “Ang TV” at “G-Mik” at pagiging bahagi ng hit weekly sitcom noon ni Aga Muhlach sa Kapamilya network, ang “Oki Doki Doc”.

In 1995, si Camille ang naging lead star ng Philippine adaptation ng anime series na “Princess Sarah,” ang “Sarah…Ang Munting Prinsesa”. Naging isa rin siya sa lead stars ng TV series na “Marinella” kung saan niya naging co-stars sina Shaina Magdayao at Serena Dalrymple (na may asawa na rin ngayon at naka-base sa Amerika).

Si Camille ay gumawa ng sarili niyang pangalan apart from her elder brother, ang actor, dancer-turned director and entrepreneur na si John Prats.

Camille is also a bona fide educator. She’s the directress of her family-owned school in Cainta, Rizal, ang Divine Angels Montessori while her husband John Yambao runs their own restaurant in Ayala Malls – Feliz (among other businesses).
