Radio 1 is looking for DJs and presenters with prior radio experience, whether in community, hospital, student, or local radio.

Nat O’Leary says: “Applying for the Radio 1 Christmas Takeover back in 2021 was the best thing I ever did.

"Those two days of cover felt like a dream come true and then to land my own show shortly after was quite literally unbelievable.

"If I could give one piece of advice I’d say take that chance, BE YOURSELF and have fun!!!”
