Footballer Peter Crouch is set to make his radio debut next week.
The Stoke City and former England player will guest present weeknights and Sunday afternoons on Radio X for the next two weeks. He will take the reins on the Radio X Evening Show for the first time on Monday, 24th July.
Peter Crouch will also host Sunday afternoons, sitting in for regular host Gordon Smart.
Crouch is known for celebrating goals with his robotic dance, reportedly inspired by the lyrics to an Arctic Monkeys song. In 2014 the footballer was spotted celebrating a win over Arsenal by crowd-surfing at a Kasabian gig.
Peter Crouch said: “I love Radio X and the music the station plays so I’m excited about being in the hot seat. I have a few stories I’m looking forward to sharing and some visitors I’m looking forward to welcoming to the studio. All will be revealed next week!”
Peter can be heard on Radio X, weeknights 7-10pm from Monday, 24th July and Sundays 1-4pm. The station, formerly known as XFM, is available on DAB digital radio across the UK. It can also be found on 104.9FM in London and 97.7FM in Manchester, as well as online at radiox.co.uk and in the Radio X app.
“As well as being one of the best loved footballers of his generation, Peter Crouch is well known for his passion for music and legendary sense of humour,” said Matt Deverson, managing editor of Radio X.
“He is a huge fan of the music we play on Radio X so I know he’s looking forward to entertaining listeners, playing his favourite records as well as revealing a story or two from his incredible career. We can’t wait for him to get behind the mic for what I’m sure will be a hugely entertaining couple of weeks.”
