Richie Anderson is a radio DJ and presenter. After six years as a familiar voice on the Radio 2 Breakfast Show with Zoe Ball, Richie is now fronting his own show every Sunday night on BBC Radio 2. He also regularly covers for some of the station’s most popular programmes, including Rylan on Saturdays, Dermot O’Leary’s weekend breakfast show and Sara Cox’s weekday evening slot. As well as this, Richie keeps the nation updated with the travel on all shows during weekday afternoons.

As a regular face on BBC daytime TV, Richie became the new presenter of long-running lifestyle and property show Escape to the Country (BBC One). He also presented the show’s Christmas special, showing famous faces some of the most beautiful properties the British countryside has to offer. 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. He also returned to Channel 4’s Celebrity Gogglebox for a third series, alongside friend and fellow Brummie Ellie Simmonds.

Richie is a regular on BBC One’s The One Show, presenting a mix of impactful and entertaining films – including a powerful segment about coming out to his football team, which earned him an RTS Award.

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.
