[edit] Personal life

Carrie Davis attended school at Queen's College, Taunton, Somerset where she obtained 3 A-levels. She began sports reporting for BBC Radio Five Live and BBC News 24 before making her way to Radio One working within the Newsbeat team. Carrie joined the show in October 2004, replacing Juliette Ferrington who moved on to work solely for BBC Radio Five Live.

Davis is a patron for the The Veteran Horse Welfare (VHW) charity, a charity dedicated to the welfare of older horses and ponies. She is a Chelsea F.C. supporter.

She married Tom Prideaux (a Captain with the Queen's Royal Lancers) on May 3, 2008, who is often the butt of jokes on the The Chris Moyles Show and referred to by Moyles and Comedy Dave as "Captain Underpants" and fittingly, "Major Tom".
