Katie Thistleton

Katie Thistleton is a broadcaster, journalist and author, who is known for her work across Radio 1 where she hosts the flagship drive time show ‘Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie’ every Monday to Thursday.

Since joining BBC Radio 1 in 2016, Katie has become one of the station’s most popular voices due to her upbeat and down-to-earth relationship with the audience. After hosting the station’s social action shows, Life Hacks and The Surgery, as well as her own weekend shows, Katie joined the coveted Going Home drivetime slot. Since joining ‘Going Home’, the official figures have seen a growth from 2.8 million to 3.3 million listeners, increasing their audience of 15-24 years by 65%, a RAJAR record! As a fan favourite, she often hosts Radio 1’s Glastonbury, Big Weekend and Ibiza coverage. She can be heard interviewing the biggest names including Katy Perry, Amy Poehler, Lewis Capaldi and Ant and Dec.

Beyond Radio 1, Katie makes regular TV appearances and is part of the BBC One’s Morning Live family. As an experienced entertainment presenter and a self-confessed 'professional talker' who never fails to fill airtime, she is considered a safe and fun pair of hands in any live TV or radio environment.

Katie is passionate about using her honest, relatable presenting style to make lifestyle content and documentaries about young people's issues. She has presented documentaries for the BBC on a variety of subjects, including the Manchester bombings, body image and mental health. Katie has also presented films for The One Show and appeared as a live studio presenter on The Martin Lewis Money Show for ITV.  She was also the main presenter of the BBC’s educational programme, Bitesize Daily, during the pandemic.

Ever an open book about her own journey with her mental health, she is an ambassador for charities YoungMinds and Place2Be alongside the Princess of Wales. Katie has recently become a trained counsellor and completed a year-long work placement with the NHS. Katie has appeared on both Morning Live and This Morning to offer viewers counselling advice. Building on her ‘agony aunt’ experience, Katie’s debut book Dear Katie: Real Problems, Real Advice was released in February 2018 and offers warm yet honest advice on the multitude of struggles the UK’s children are facing.  As a qualified journalist and keen writer, she has also written for Psychologies Magazine about issues regularly faced by twenty-somethings.

Katie began her career in Children’s TV. After working as a Researcher for CBeebies, she made the leap in front of the camera at the start of 2013 after being headhunted to join the CBBC HQ line-up. Katie hosted CBBC’s live continuity for over six years, claiming the title of the longest running presenter to occupy that role, before leaving to concentrate on her work at Radio 1. Katie still regularly DJs at live events and festivals with ex co-presenter ‘Hacker the Dog’.

Katie has worked on branding partnerships with McDonalds, Garnier Nutrisse, UCAS, Meta, Ninja Foodi and Natural Cycles. Her other entertainment credits include Celebrity Weakest Link, Celebrity Bridge of Lies, Celebrity Mastermind, Celebrity Eggheads, Pointless Celebrities, Children in Need, BBC 5Live, BBC Radio 4 and BBC Breakfast.
