Topics:
  • TV/Radio Presenter

Vernon Kay is the awards host from Bolton who created quite a stir within the television industry. His spontaneous wit and charming accent make him a huge hit with viewers of all ages. He is a total natural on screen and enjoyed remarkable success on the T4 team at Channel 4 from 2000 to 2006.  He has also presented 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' on ITV and NBC (USA). He hosted the quiz show 'Head Jam' on BBC2 and BBC 3, ITV's 'Celebrities under Pressure', E4's 'Wife For William' and 'The Grill' Channel 4. Prior to this, Vernon hosted the Saturday night show 'Boys and Girls' on Channel 4.

Vernon Kay as Awards Host and Presenter

Vernon has a vast amount of presenting experience both live and pre-recorded. His first taste of fame was a few years ago when he was spotted by a model scout from Select at the BBC's Clothes Show Live. He began a successful modelling career but it was not long before he was picked out for stardom by Channel 4 when he won Model of the Week on The Big Breakfast.

Since then his personality and cheeky boyish charm have been noticed and he is in demand for numerous presenting roles.

Vernon was the co-presenter for BBC2's 'Top of the Pops Plus' which was a Pops branded show, in addition to fronting the spin off series 'Top of the Pops @ Play' for Play UK. The shows were music based formats with live band performances and interviews with entertaining viewer interaction.

He made an exciting new family adventure game show pilot for BBC Entertainment, and also fronted a Channel 4 education show made by Rapido.

Vernon hosted the BBC's youth magazine show 'FBI' which raised his profile in addition to guest presenting at 'T in the Park' for T4. You may also recognise him from his days co-presenting Channel 5's live magazine format The Mag and reporting for Trouble Television.

Not only is he an accomplished and popular presenter but having joined Radio 1 in 2006, Vernon has shown that he is also a natural broadcaster and DJ with his regular Saturday show. He also started working with ITV in 2007 and has presented several very successful series of All Star Family Fortunes.  He was chosen to present the prime-time ITV show The Whole 19 Yards in 2010, and his considerable experience and charisma make him a consistently talented awards host.
