Kimberly Wyatt is joining Hits Radio as the new presenter of The Hits Radio Throwback.
The former Pussycat Doll singer and Grammy nominee’s first show will air on 10 November at 7pm.
Speaking about her latest gig to Fleur East on the Hits Radio Breakfast Show this morning, she said: “The cat is finally out of the bag! It’s so awesome to be part of the family… I’m so excited it’s like a new little adventure. I’ve been DJing for quite some time but to be able to spend some time with everybody on a Sunday and play some of my favourite tunes - I’m really looking forward to it.”
Teasing what listeners can expect from the show, she added: “There’ll be a little bit of PCD of course, but lots of Noughties, lots of hits – keep it fun for a Sunday! I’ll be bringing music, fun, stories… Music takes you back to moments and memories, so to live in that again and share some of that will be fun.”
Keen to get to know her fellow presenter more, East asked what sort of colleague Wyatt would be, to which she replied: “Well, as a Mum of three I do have that maternal instinct and want to take care of everybody but I’m always down for gossip – I’m not usually the one with the best gossip, I’m good at listening to the goss!”
Wyatt originally shot to fame as a member of one of pop music’s biggest ever girl bands - the Pussycat Dolls – before finding further success as a solo artist and as part of Her Majesty and the Wolves. She’s sold 15million albums and 40 million singles worldwide thanks to the success of pop hits including Don’t Cha and When I Grow Up.
Her dancing background has also seen her as head judge on Sky One’s Got to Dance as well as choreographing West End shows and working on CBBC’s The Next Step. In 2015 she was crowned winner of Celebrity Masterchef and in 2022 appeared on ITV1’s Dancing on Ice.
The Hits Radio Throwback is a three-hour playlist of all the biggest and best throwbacks for your Sunday night featuring artists including Calvin Harris, Lady Gaga, Ed Sheeran and P!nk.
You can listen every Sunday night from 7pm at hitsradio.co.uk or on the Rayo app.
