Katie Derham’s background

Since 2010 she has been the face of the BBC Proms and a regular presenter on Radio 3, where she can be heard every weekday on Afternoon on 3.

She also fronts music and arts documentaries both on television and radio. In September 2015 her professional life took a different and decidedly glittery direction when she took part in Strictly Come Dancing, reaching the final.

2015 also saw the launch of Peanut and Crumb, a production and media strategy company which Katie set up with the BAFTA nominated producer and director Jane Gerber.

Katie read economics at Magdalene College, Cambridge, graduating with a BA (Hons). Katie is much in demand as a host of conferences and award ceremonies; her economics degree and early career as a business journalist makes her particularly popular in the business and finance worlds.
