Claire Sturgess

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Claire Sturgess is a British disc jockey and voiceover artist. She was a presenter on BBC Radio 1 from 1993, firstly, sitting in for Mark Goodier for 1 week in February 1993 & took over the Friday Rock Show from Tommy Vance in April that year as well as the 1-4 AM overnight slot on Sunday nights/Monday mornings. Following Dave Lee Travis's departure in August 1993, she took over the Saturday mid-morning show, (with Nicky Campbell presenting the show on Sundays). Danny Baker took the show in October 1993.

Her Rock show moved to Sunday afternoon in October 1993, following the restructuring of the station by new controller Matthew Bannister, but moved to Sunday Evening just 7 months later in May 1994.

Claire moved to the weekday overnight slot in 1996 & remained there until leaving Radio 1 in July 1997.

She has been on London's Xfm since it became a full time station in September 1997 and is also the only continuity announcer on the TV station Sky One.

She has filled in for Karl Pilkington on Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant's Xfm radio show when Karl was occasionally away.
