TikTok sensation and the voice of I Kissed A Girl, Charley Marlowe, has been announced as BBC Radio 1’s new summer presenter.

“You can expect anything from a show tune to Madonna” – Charley Marlowe
As per BBC News, she is “absolutely buzzing” and plans to play “as much Jane McDonald and Kylie Minogue as the BBC allow”.
“Otherwise you can expect anything from a show tune to Madonna (not really any less camp, is it?). At least the chaos and confusion will wake you up, so I’ll see you at 5am,” she added.
The Liverpool-born presenter first rose to fame on TikTok, where she’s built a dedicated following of nearly 700,000 fans.

Known for her sharp wit, outspoken identity as a proud lesbian, and to her fans as ‘mummy,’ this Jane McDonald-obsessed content creator is nothing short of pure entertainment.
She was announced as the narrator of I Kissed A Girl, the sister series to I Kissed A Boy, hosted by Dannii Minogue, last year.
