miquita oliver

Born on 25 April 1984 in Paddington, London, her mother is former Rip Rig & Panic singer and television presenter Andrea Oliver and her aunt is Neneh Cherry.

Miquita regularly hosts both Saturday and Sunday mornings T4 coverage and can be seen during the Easter, Summer and Christmas breaks hosting the T4 holiday morning coverage with Steve Jones. She is up-front, gutsy and without doubt wears her heart on her sleeve - don’t be fooled by her innocent appearance! She’s in-touch with her audience and can always be relied upon to tell it how it is.

Miquita was invited by a friend to screen test for a new Channel 4 music show whilst still at school. At just 16 she began co-hosting T4’s Popworld. Now an established face of Channel 4 she has over four years experience behind her.

As well as her Popworld shows Miquita has hosted a number of one off music and film specials for Channel 4 – which have included her interviewing stars from Robert DeNiro to Beyonce. She has also presented for Pure T4 and the Urban Music Festival 2005.

In 2003 Miquita expanded into radio broadcasting with a weekend morning slot on the BBC digital station 1Xtra then was given her own weekly radio show called OneClick Playlist for 2005 on BBC Radio 1.

Miquita, who has recently started to work with UNICEF, says "I believe it is really important to raise awareness amongst teenagers and young people about the effects of poverty on our peers around the world. By talking about these issues and by helping out in whatever way possible, everyone can be responsible for bringing about some change, no matter how small".

So make sure you tune into Channel 4 every Saturday from 10.30am so you don't miss a thing.
