Kiri’s always been a natural performer. She started out training in dance before landing her first job out of uni as a Butlins Redcoat — hosting shows, dancing, and generally being the life of the party. From there, she took her energy worldwide, working as a kids’ entertainer for TUI holidays, dancing at Disneyland, and even spending time as a maths teacher (proof that she’s got both the brains and the moves!).

Her love for radio began over 10 years ago, training at Winchester Hospital Radio before a stint at Southampton’s Voice FM. After taking a break to raise her two little boys, she’s back behind the mic and loving every second volunteering with Hot Radio.

From the stage to the studio, Kiri’s passion for performing and connecting with people has never gone away — and now she’s bringing that same fun, lively energy to the airwaves.

 

From Redcoat to radio — here are Kiri’s quickfire picks:

First album you bought?

👉 Britney Spears – …Baby One More Time

Best gig you’ve ever been to?

👉 Spice Girls, Beyoncé, or the Isle of Wight Festival — too hard to choose!

Favourite artist of all time?

👉 Beyoncé — she’s an absolute queen.

Song you can’t resist singing along to?

👉 Reach for the Stars – S Club 7 (takes me right back to revising for my GCSEs).

Favourite place in BCP?

👉 The beach! Nothing beats being by the sea with my family (and my own beach to escape to).

 

Kiri’s happiest when she’s by the sea or surrounded by family — this picture shows that same energy she brings to Hot.
