From Breakfast to Afternoon Tea Fiona Phillips Turns DJ for Smooth

London’s Smooth Radio has signed breakfast TV star Fiona Phillips to present its Sunday afternoon show from Easter weekend.

Fiona, who started her career as a radio journalist, will go from being in front of the camera to behind the microphone for her new weekend show on Smooth Radio which will be broadcast every Sunday from 2pm to 5pm starting on Easter Sunday, 23rd March.

Fiona is looking forward to returning to her radio roots: “I’m a real fan of Smooth Radio and absolutely love the wide variety of music it plays. I can’t wait to start the show.”

Each week Fiona will be talking to celebrity and topical guests as well as playing London’s widest variety of music from the 60s to the present day.

Now one of the leading lights of British television, Fiona is celebrating more than ten years at GMTV which she joined as its Los Angeles entertainment correspondent. Prior to that, she had a successful career as a news correspondent both in independent radio and television.

Smooth Radio’s programme controller Gavin McCoy said: “It’s a delight to be able to welcome Fiona to Smooth Radio. She has a very warm personality and a great sense of humour and I have no doubt will entertain our listeners as much on a Sunday afternoon as she does the nation each morning”.
