The most honest and revealing of all media outlets, one of Tessa's passions is presenting live Radio. Born and brought up in the Highlands of Scotland with very limited TV reception, she was hooked to her parents 'wireless' from an early age.

Over the last two years Tessa has been producing and presenting her own reports for Outlook on the World Service/Radio 4. She spends a lot of time in Romania and speaks the language hence the preponderance of Romanian-themed reports! Her most recent project focused on the Romanian Roma who were expelled from France by Sarkozy in 2010.

Most weekends Tessa joins the Stephen Nolan programme on Radio 5 to chew the fat and review the newspapers. After an eighteen month break she has returned to the air as a cover presenter for various regional stations. Follow Tessa on Twitter to keep track of when and where. |
Headhunted from LBC, Tessa presented a weekly radio show on BBC London for six years. Whenever available she also provided the cover for Vanessa Feltz's show.

Ten years ago Tessa presented the through-the-night slot on LBC. Within a year she was fronting their weekday afternoons. It's unlikely she would've been given the equivalent freedom so young on TV, but that's the beauty of radio.
