Brits Name the Radio DJ They’d Most Like to Spend a Valentine’s Break With

After years of listening to their dulcet tones and charismatic banter, many people start to feel like they really know their favourite radio DJ – in fact, some people even dream of jetting away with them.

Now a list of the top radio DJs Brits would like to go on holiday with for Valentine’s Day has emerged. The poll ran by Holiday Hypermarket asked 2,000 people which radio DJ they would most like to go away with this Valentine’s Day and Radio 1 Breakfast Show’s Nick Grimshaw topped the male presenters we’d most like to be abroad with for Valentine’s, while Emma Bunton of Heart Radio was the favourite female.

 

The fight for the top spot was a close run thing though with Nick Grimshaw, (13%) narrowly beating Greg James (12.3%), also of Radio 1. Radio 2’s Chris Evans came third with 11.6%.

For the ladies, Bunton’s 18% was closely followed by former Radio 1 presenter Fearne Cotton who gained 17.3% of the votes, then Sara Cox (12%), of Radio 2’s Sounds of the 80s fame. Down at the bottom of the rankings, Jenni Murray and Vanessa Feltz didn’t fare so well, with 3.6% of votes each. The male DJs that voters would least like to go away with were Steve Wright (6%), Jeremy Vine (6%) and John Humphrys (5%).

Holiday Hypermarket representative Ian Crawford commented: “This was a close run thing and we didn’t expect for the margins to be so small. It’s clear that with so many great DJs out there we have lots of favourites. The figures for the ladies were a little higher and more unanimous, so well done Emma and Fearne.”
