Richie Anderson is a DJ and presenter with an established career across BBC radio and television. Following six years on the Radio 2 Breakfast Show with Zoe Ball, Richie now hosts his own Sunday night show on the station. He also regularly covers for some of Radio 2’s most popular programmes, including the drive time show, Trevor Nelson in the afternoon and Dermot O’Leary’s weekend breakfast show.

On television, Richie presents BBC One’s long-running lifestyle and property series Escape to the Country. He also presented the show’s Christmas special, showing famous faces some of the most beautiful properties the British countryside has to offer. Richie is a regular face on The One Show, where his films combine entertainment with impactful storytelling, and his segment about coming out to his football team earned him an RTS Award. Last year, Richie was part of the BBC’s Eurovision Song Contest coverage for the fourth consecutive year, commentating on the semi-finals live from Switzerland.

Earlier this year, Richie took part in the first full-length series of The Celebrity Apprentice, coming soon to BBC One. He also returned to Channel 4’s Celebrity Gogglebox for a fourth series, alongside friend and fellow Brummie Ellie Simmonds.

He’s no stranger to prime-time television, having danced in Strictly Come Dancing’s second all-male partnership in 2022, co-hosted the Platinum Party at the Palace for The Queen’s Jubilee and competed on Celebrity MasterChef in 2023.

A passionate supporter of charitable causes, Richie raised over £877,000 in 2020 for Sport Relief during a gruelling challenge with Jo Whiley and Reverend Kate Bottley.

When he’s off-air, you’ll likely find him at The Hawthorns, cheering on his beloved West Bromwich Albion.
