Meet The Let's Go Club presenters
Leslie, CBeebies Grown-ups

(l-r) Joanna, Abe, Craig and Kirsten
Joanna…
is a country girl at heart. She grew up with her parents and big sister in a small village in Hampshire, accompanied by the delightful smells of the local chicken farm.
Joanna LOVES to bake cakes – number one is lemon curd - and the kitchen is her happy place. Her favourite TV show is Suits, just because it's amazing!
Since she graduated Joanna has been teaching dance at a performing arts Saturday school, and working in primary education. She says she loves working with children, seeing them smile and excel in what they do.
Joanna has two children, a 2-year old boy and 9-month old girl. She describes them as total gifts from heaven (most days).
Abe…
started performing from an early age, and was acting at 3 years old. He had his first featured role in Casualty when he was only 10.
While studying for his GCSEs, Abe discovered dance and is completely self-taught. He started competing globally in street dance styles Popping and Krump, and has taught others to dance too. Abe plays the piano and is also a human beatbox.
Abe is a physical comedian with successful comedy shorts, including Cool Unicorn Bruv. He writes and directs his own films and is also a reviewer for Computer Games .
When he’s not busy with all that, Abe’s hobbies include snowboarding and basketball.
Kirsten…
is a self-described “proud Scouser” and goes home to see her family every month. Kirsten says she learned everything she knows from her Mum and is pretty much just a younger version of her!
Kirsten is a self-confessed foodie and absolutely adores cooking – her signature dish is Char Siu pork. Some of her favourite things include countryside walks, music festivals, shoes, dancing, shoes, picnics, shoes, glamping and… shoes.
Kirsten started in television 5 years ago – her first ever TV job was on CBeebies‘ Something Special with Justin Fletcher. After this, she went on to work on all sorts of shows, including I Can Cook, Top Gear and George Clarke's Amazing Spaces.
Kirsten’s favourite TV shows to watch include Broadchurch (she loves a who-dunnit) and the BBC version of Pride and Prejudice, which marked the beginning of her love affair with Colin Firth.
Kirsten is desperate to travel the world, but Chile is at the top of the list – she’d love to see the breathtaking sights and get involved in the culture.
She says choosing one hero is tough, but she really admires Julie Walters, Wes Anderson, Jane Austen, and Beyonce!
Craig…
is originally from Bristol, but now lives in London, where he likes to take walks on the South Bank, eat his way round Borough market and explore the architecture of the city.
Travel is definitely Craig’s thing and he’s been lucky enough to go lots of countries for work and for pleasure, including Europe, USA, Asia, Caribbean and Australia! He’s also happy walking in the countryside, taking trips to the beach and organising picnics for friends – Craig describes himself as a summer boy through and through.
Before The Let's Go Club, Craig worked as a tour guide and behind the scenes in TV - from production manager to promotions producer. He has also presented on This Morning, Sky Travel and the Discovery Channel.
Craig’s heroes are his Mum, Dad and sister, and he has 2 nieces who he adores.
His favourite TV shows are Grand Designs (someday he’d like to build his own house), and Deal Or No Deal (he always end up crying). Craig loves action movies because you can’t beat a good car chase!
