Lucy Ellis

Lucy is from just down the road in Wiltshire and used to be a dancer before she started in radio. She actually has a degree in Dance Studies! She has also worked as a personal trainer which possibly explains why she doesn’t go to the gym anymore! Yoga, ballet and horse riding are her preferred methods of fitness nowadays!

She loves music which is just as well really if you play it for a living! Some of her favourites are The Counting Crows, Blondie and Deacon Blue but really anything with lovely lyrics and a great melody will do.

She is a big fan of lazy pub dinners and wine with friends and loves clever well observed comedies – The Royle Family is genius!

Brushes with the rich and famous include meeting Madonna (her hair needed a wash and she was wearing a tracksuit!) and sharing a sausage sandwich with Roy (catchphrase) Walker (lovely guy and much better groomed than Madge!!)

Her random pet hate is when people say ‘pacifically’ instead of ‘SPEcifically’ (her mum’s an English teacher!)

Her ambitions are to learn to play the guitar that has been sat in her garage for years and to resurrect Pan’s People!
