Philippa Collins (born October 1, 1983 in Hampshire, England) is a British DJ and voice-over artist

History

Philippa's first full-time presenting job was in 2002, where she hosted evenings at 96.4 The Eagle. Less than a year later, she moved to 97.6 Chiltern FM in Dunstable to present mid mornings. She eventually switched to Chiltern's sister station in Bedford to host drive time.

During her Chiltern years, Philippa was also recording a weekday evening show for DAB station Core. Stints covering the GWR group's syndicated evening and late night shows followed, and she briefly presented the networked "Cash Call" five nights a week.

Philippa spent 2006 presenting weekends on Kiss FM in the East of England.

In 2007 she moved to overnights on 95.8 Capital FM in London, and was also given a Sunday afternoon slot. She also worked as a continuity announcer for UK television channels Living and Sky One.

In 2008, Philippa presented a newly created syndicated show on The One Network of local radio stations. The 10am-1pm show lasted less than a year following Global Radio's acquisition of the GCap Media group. It rebranded the stations to Heart Radio and Collins was replaced by the former children's television presenter, Toby Anstis.

Philippa has since emigrated from the United Kingdom. She lives in New Zealand.
