About Victoria

Victoria moved to Portsmouth to study English & Creative Writing at Portsmouth University. She joined the team in October 2023, presenting Wind Down, as she was keen to get involved within the local community!

Launching ‘The Weekend Wake Up’ in April 2024, Victoria helps you kickstart your weekend and keep you company throughout the early hours!

Favourite Song - My Life Would Suck Without You by Kelly Clarkson. It’s one of my all time guilty pleasures, and I always crank the volume right up whenever it comes on!

Favourite Gig - A pop music festival at Wembley in summer 2023! It was such an unforgettable experience and featured some of the tunes that I grew up listening to, as well as some modern stuff! It was a hot day, but it was incredible!

Favourite Film - The Neighbour’s Window. It’s such an interesting film about appreciating what you have, and the story is just so beautiful! The ending always brings a tear to my eye!

Favourite Place in Portsmouth - The Spinnaker Tower! I went right to the top when I was little and the most memorable moment was lying on the glass floor with my brother! I also love it down in Gunwharf and along the seafront.
