2013 Anthems with Vicky Hawkesworth - Part 1

Vicky Hawkesworth presents big anthems and tunes you haven't heard in ages.

24-year-old Bolton resident Vicky is one of Radio 1's Christmas Presenters for 2020 - a week of new presenting talent taking over the schedule. She has presented on Bolton FM and Durham OnAir, although her radio experience goes way back to childhood, when she created a fictional station called Radio Archie (“the only presenter on this station was my polar bear teddy aptly named Archie!”)

It’s an “incredible feeling” to be making her debut on Radio 1 this month, she says. “I’m so excited to get stuck in!”

“I love learning and trying new things,” she adds, having taught herself keyboard and taxi-whistling while in lockdown, as well as going to dance classes in her spare time.

Catch Vicky on Mon 28th & Tues 29th December, 10am-2pm.
