Judith Marilyn Spiers (born 15 March 1953) is a British radio and television presenter.
Career[edit]
Initially training to be an actress at the Rose Bruford College,[1] Spiers began her broadcasting career at Westward Television in 1977, then the ITV station for south-west England. She later moved to the What's Ahead entertainment guide. Spiers hosted local beauty contests Mr TSW and Miss TSW for TSW, which had replaced Westward as the ITV contractor for the south-west.[2] TSW produced a nationally networked daytime chat show, Judi!, which ran for six editions.
At the start of the 1990s, Spiers moved to national television as a presenter on BBC One's daily magazine programme Pebble Mill from October 1991 until August 1994.[3] In 1995, she co-hosted The Alternative DJ with Peter Jeffrey and Oliver Senton. She also hosted a Saturday show on BBC Radio 2 between 1994 and 1998.[4][5]
Spiers presented the morning show on BBC Radio Devon from 2005 until 2015.[6]
