Charlie Crocker

As well as provocative chat, the afternoon show will entertain you with celebrity interviews and great music - and will give you a helping hand with the daily challenges in life.

"I'm passionate about what people really think.  So I enjoy presenting the afternoon show - where I can discuss what makes people laugh, cry and shout in their life." says Charlie. 

Charlie's broadcasting career started just five years ago when a friend entered her for the BBC Talent competition and she came in the final four for the South East Region - life begins at 40 as they say!

She started with BBC Southern Counties Radio as a reporter at Police Motorway Control - keeping the boys in blue in check, watching the rush hour build up and helping people avoid the jams.

Charlie also presented the evening show on BBC Radio Solent for 18 months - doing everything from taking traffic reports from truckers to speaking to women in states of high anxiety in the middle of arranging dinner parties.

She has moved to Southampton to present BBC Radio Solent's afternoon programme.  Charlie has a daughter called Min and is now a completely besotted Granny to India Grace Sparkle Hope - who was born in October 2006.

She is also qualified as a Swedish Massage Therapist!
