Jeremy Vine

Jeremy Vine is a well-known British broadcaster with a love of whodunnits who presents a daily show on BBC Radio 2 called The Jeremy Vine Show — and also a self-titled daily news and chat programme on Channel 5. This is why he likes strong coffee. He has been Sony Speech Broadcaster of the Year, and won Interview of the Year for the seminal moment when Gordon Brown put his head in his hands during the 2010 election campaign. Jeremy also does the BBC election graphics and rides a penny farthing, although not at the same time. He loves Agatha Christie and read his first, ‘Hercule Poirot’s Christmas’ aged eleven, which led directly to him writing his own whodunnit 48 years later! Born in 1965, he of course loves the music of Joy Division, The Cure and Elvis Costello. He is married to Rachel and they have two daughters.
