More about Sarah...
Sarah Champion was voted one of the sexiest women in radio by FHM magazine.

A friend of mine had seen the article, so sent my photo in and the next thing I know I'm plucked from the comfort of my local radio station in Hertfordshire and whisked off to London for an FHM photo shoot."
"It was all very tastefully done I have to say." Sarah had the benchmark in her head of 'Am I okay with my Dad seeing this?!'.
"To cut a long story short the 'Delicious DJ' shoot was published and suddenly my phone was ringing with agents and TV producers. Lesson learnt - working your bottom off for next to nothing for years in local radio gets you nowhere, working your bottom in a Moulin Rouge style basque and next to nothing else gets you everywhere!"
A TV show called 'Pub Ammo' for Channel Five followed with some fella called Christian O'Connell, but Sarah then finally achieved her dream of working at One Golden Square. "I'd always said it was my dream station to work for, they played everything I'd ever owned on CD and more, so signing my contract was a really special moment."
Sarah secured a contract with MTV Networks not long after and has now notched up hundreds of interviews during festivals and live shows. "Three years on I still feel so lucky to be here, I love hearing from our listeners via text and email because I think we all share that special connection with the music we all love. I still have to pinch myself that I'm here at all. Especially around about 2am..."
