The TV presenter has hosted the iconic BBC nature programme for 14 years, having previously worked on The Really Wild Show and Wide Awake Club.
She recently finished as runner-up on ITV reality show Dancing on Ice, competing last year with professional partner Mark Hanretty.
Michaela, who supports Oxford United through her son, who works at the club, had an exclusive chat with the Oxford Mail last week.
Another TV star with links to the county is former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson, who owns both a farm and a pub here.
This is documented in his own wildlife show, Clarkson’s Farm on Prime Video, which helps highlight the plight of British farmers and the struggles of agriculture.
During the exclusive interview, Ms Strachan praised Mr Clarkson for his work via the show but revealed she has never watched an episode.
“I don’t watch Clarkson’s Farm, but I think it is great what he has done for making people understand how difficult farming is,” she said.
“But no, it’s not a programme that I watch.”
The 59-year-old was speaking ahead of her ‘Not Just a Wild Life’ live tour, which begins next month and features a date in nearby Newbury on Wednesday, April 29.
Speaking on the show, Ms Strachan said: “It’s getting close now, and it’s taking quite a long time to prepare the show because I’ve got a heck of a lot of footage to go through.
“I’ve got this massive archive in my garage, with a lot of it on VHS, which takes a long time to fast-forward.
“So it’s taken months, actually, of putting the show together and deciding what to put in and what not to put in because it’s been a long career and a lot of shows.
“I think that’s been the hardest thing, really, to decide, you know, which bits to focus on. So, yeah, I’m really excited about it.”
