Katie Derham is a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3 presenter and the face of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Proms.
Katie Derham is a presenter on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3 and one of the station’s best known voices. In 2017 she joined the team of Radio 3's drivetime programme, In Tune, fronting the show on rotation with Sean Rafferty. Other Radio 3 credits include Sound of Dance, where she explores the relationship between music and dance in varying genres, and Afternoon Concert.
Katie has also been the face of the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Proms since 2010 and hosts the weekly magazine show Proms Extra every Saturday on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ2 during the season.
Katie spent the first 15 years of her broadcasting career in news and current affairs, first at the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ, and then as ITV’s youngest ever newsreader, where her role as anchor meant she covered everything from elections to royal weddings and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
She also fronts television documentaries, most recently presenting The Girl from Ipanema: Brazil, Bossa Nova and the Beach for the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ, which saw her travel to Rio de Janeiro to explore the story behind Brazil’s most famous and enduring song. She was the host of All Together Now: The Great Orchestra Challenge for Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Four and Fine Tuned in 2016-2017 for Sky Arts.
In 2015 Katie’s career took a decidedly glittery turn when she took part in Strictly Come Dancing and reached the final. She also won the Christmas Special in 2017.
