DJ Spoony (born 1970) is a British DJ, and former BBC Radio 1 presenter. His real name is Jonathan Joseph.

He can be heard on BBC Radio Five Live presenting 6-0-6. Spoony enjoys playing golf and is a big fan of sport in general. He is a supporter of English football club spurs.

Spoony used to be part of the Dreem Teem on BBC Radio 1.

His weekend breakfast show allowed listeners to join the Early Doors Club, play Judge Fudge, and become a Local Legend. Another long running feature was Mills & Spoon (a nameplay of the Mills & Boon books), in which Scott Mills read out love stories every Sunday.

On 31 July 2006 the BBC announced that Spoony was to leave Radio 1 after six years with the station to concentrate on his Five Live work. He was replaced by Fearne Cotton and Reggie Yates who present the early breakfast show on the weekends.[1]

Spoony presented his final Radio 1 show on 17 September 2006.

In 2006 he also took part in the fourth series of Strictly Come Dancing competing with Ola Jordan. They were eliminated in the third week of the competition.
