“Hi there, I’m Toby Anstis and you can catch me every weekday morning from 10am to 1pm on Heart. My job is to play you the best variety of music and keep you entertained throughout the morning and beyond!”
Toby is one of the best-loved and most popular TV and radio presenters. He made his name on television presenting BBC1’s The Ozone, Electric Circus and Live and Kicking. Since then he’s presented and appeared on a variety of shows including the National Lottery Live and Britain’s Next Top Model, he co-hosted Children in Need and even braved the jungle in I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!. But his heart remains firmly in radio.
“I just love it! I’ve been dreaming of doing this job since I was 9 years old and every day just gets better. On my show, I play a fantastic mix of songs to keep you singing along to all day. There really is something for everyone from Take That, Abba and George Michael through to Alicia Keys an
d Lady GaGa. On top of that, I keep you up-to-date with the very latest showbiz news, plus you’ve got the chance to win dream prizes and holidays.”
“I love hearing from all our listeners across Devon. I get loads of texts and emails each day from people wanting to say hi to their family or friends or telling their workmates to stop stealing the chocolate biscuits from the cupboard! Last week, I had a funny email from Sandra in Exeter who invited me round to her place for lunch after my show – she said she made a wicked cheese omelette! Unfortunately I had a meeting after my show that day, so Sandra, it’ll have to be another time!”
“In my spare time, I love to keep fit. I’ve got a personal trainer called Tom, who’s an ex-Army guy, so there’s no slacking with him! We do lots of circuit training and kick-boxing. I also really enjoy skiing. My sister and brother-in-law live in Chamonix, so any free time I’ve got, I head over to see them in France. I’ve got a gorgeous nephew called Rocco who will be celebrating his first birthday soon. I love spending time with him and dragging him round Chamonix on my sledge!”
But after time on the slopes, Toby is always itching to get back behind the mic. “I love working at Heart, we all have a lot of fun! I also love the reaction I get from people, telling me how much they enjoy the songs and banter. If I can give people a lift during their day, whatever they’re doing, then I know I’ve done my job!”
