Ep. 572 - Toby Anstis - From CBBC’s Broom Cupboard to 25 years at Heart Radio

Toby Anstis is one of the UK's best-loved radio and TV presenters, with a showbiz career spanning over 30 years. He began as the last ever presenter in the legendary CBBC "broom cupboard" on BBC1, before going on to host The Ozone, the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party at Wembley Arena, Children in Need, Grandstand, and the National Lottery Live. Since joining Heart Radio in 2001, Toby has built an extraordinary following — his show is now the number one most listened-to commercial radio show in the UK, with 4.1 million listeners. In 2019 he launched Heart Dance, where he hosts the breakfast show every morning and Club Classics every Friday night. Beyond radio, Toby has appeared on Loose Women, This Morning, I'm A Celebrity, and Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, trod the boards in the West End production of Grease, and is a regular face in magazines including OK!. He also DJs extensively across the UK and Ibiza, headlining at the Epsom Derby, Ascot, Sandown, and festivals and club nights nationwide.
