Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt joins Hits Radio to host weekend show

Kimberly Wyatt is the new presenter of The Hits Radio Throwback on Hits Radio with her first show airing this Sunday, 10 November at 7pm.

The former Pussycat Doll and Grammy nominee joined Fleur East on the Hits Radio Breakfast Show this morning to share the news and said: “The cat is finally out of the bag! It’s so awesome to be part of the family… I’m so excited it’s like a new little adventure.

“I’ve been DJing for quite some time but to be able to spend some time with everybody on a Sunday and play some of my favourite tunes – I’m really looking forward to it.”

Kimberly also teased what people can expect from the show: “There’ll be a little bit of PCD of course, but lots of Noughties, lots of hits – keep it fun for a Sunday! I’ll be bringing music, fun, stories… Music takes you back to moments and memories, so to live in that again and share some of that will be fun.”

Fleur asked what sort of office colleague Kimberly would be for the rest of the Hits Radio team: “Well, as a Mum of three I do have that maternal instinct and want to take care of everybody but I’m always down for gossip – I’m not usually the one with the best gossip, I’m good at listening to the goss!”

Kimberly rose to fame as a member of one of pop music’s biggest ever girl bands – the Pussycat Dolls – before finding further success as a solo artist and as part of Her Majesty and the Wolves.

She’s sold 15 million albums and 40 million singles worldwide thanks to the success of pop hits including Don’t Cha and When I Grow Up.

Her dancing background has also seen her as head judge on Sky One’s Got to Dance as well as choreographing West End shows and working on CBBC’s The Next Step.  In 2015 she was crowned winner of Celebrity Masterchef and in 2022 appeared on ITV1’s Dancing on Ice.
