📣I’m joining LBC and LBC News!

🎙️Some work news from me… I’m joining the LBC family to host not one, but two, new shows. I’ll be presenting on LBC every Sunday morning between 4-7am AND I’ll be presenting on LBC News every Monday-Thursday between 7-10pm.

📻Having listened to LBC since I was a teenager, this is quite literally a dream come true and I can’t wait to join the amazingly talented Global team and get started!
