Tim Lovejoy (Presenter)

Born: March 28, 1968 in Northwood, Middlesex

Best Known For: Hosting Soccer AM on a Saturday morning for over a decade

Early-life: Tim was born in Middlesex in 1968 and became a die-hard Chelsea fan at an early age. He always hoped for a career in sport and presenting, and as a teenager began sending out letters to production companies looking for work. For a time he worked in music as a merchandise manager for touring bands.

Career: After starting out as a VJ on MTV UK, Tim moved to the Big Breakfast, where he worked his way up from researcher to producer of the show. From there, he got the Soccer AM job in 1996, and continued to host it with Helen Chamberlain, as well as producing it, for 11 years. After leaving, he moved to BBC Radio Five Live before settling at Something For The Weekend, the Sunday breakfast show he hosts with Louise Redknapp and chef Simon Rimmer. He also launched online project Channel Bee.

Quote: 'I did not choose Something For The Weekend over Soccer AM. I love doing both. However I just turn up and present STFW whereas with Soccer AM I worked my nuts off every day writing and producing it. If I carried on doing Soccer AM I would not be able to develop my other ideas.'
