Broadcaster

Jeremy is an award-winning TV and radio broadcaster, well known for his news and sports reports for BBC TV and radio. He presented The World Today on the BBC World Service as well as winning a Sony Award for his BBC London breakfast show. He’s a well-known voice on news broadcasts, winning A New York Academy Award for his live commentary at the Hillsborough Disaster. On television he’s reported for BBC TV News on the lighter stories such as the face of Elvis appearing on a piece of Stilton cheese. Jeremy devised the TV sports quiz Sick as a Parrot which he presented on Channel 5 and also on BBC Radio 5 Live. He’s taught creative storytelling at the BBC College of Journalism. Kids of all ages are more impressed that he’s the voice of the announcer on 11 global best-selling football video games FIFA 06 to FIFA 16. TV sports fans will recognise him as the early face of live football on Channel 5, back in the days when the picture was a bit fuzzy. When the signal improved, he was replaced by someone better looking. He often claims to be the 11th most famous BBC Jeremy, which is a bit misleading as he’s probably the 6th most famous. But, he feels that 11th sounds more powerful as it’s just outside the top ten. He did 27 shows at the Edinburgh Fringe about being the 11th most famous and it went down very well with the audiences, who laughed a lot and pretended they’d heard of him.
