Nick Robins
Over the years, Nick's chatted to some big names including Joan Collins, Engelbert Humperdinck, Gene Pitney, Howard Keel, and former world champion boxer George Foreman.

Nick was born and raised in Devon and Cornwall where his father was a parish priest.

In the 70's Nick worked in London's Fleet Street for a commercial radio station. He answered the phones for people like Bob Holness, Brian Hayes and Oliver Reed's younger brother Simon.

Before that he was an engineer in a Plymouth factory, followed by a few years in retail and then was probably the world's least successful insurance salesman.

He spent time as a disc jockey in the Middle East, working in hotels and restaurants in Abu Dhabi, Oman and Bahrain before returning to the U.K and moving to Warrington 1979.

Nick had spent a number of years working for Hospital Radio in Plymouth in the early 70's working alongside the late Phil Easton. He came to the BBC as a volunteer in 1993.

He soon progressed to travel news presentation and after a couple of years was asked to present the Early Breakfast programme at 5am weekday mornings for the northwest's 3 BBC local radio stations.
Two years later he moved on to the Late Show for the same region.

He's been with BBC Radio Stoke since May 2004 much of that time presenting the popular Lunchtime Show. Radio One’s Scott Mills was impressed with some of Nick’s work and featured it on his drivetime show. Nick still presents on Sunday mornings but can often be heard on Radio Merseyside too.

Nick lives in Warrington with his lovely, long suffering wife Christine. They share their home with Harry the cat.
