Shropshire's Tiffany takes over Radio 1 slot
Shropshire born DJ Tiffany Calver will take up her new role as the host of BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra’s The Rap Show this weekend.
Calver, 24, most recently presented the Hip-Hop show on KissFresh, and will start her new role at the BBC on Saturday.
She said: "I'm honoured to be taking over the slot that has pretty much soundtracked my life. I look forward to carrying on the legacy of such a prestigious and highly respected show while also having the opportunity to add my own flavour – and sound effects – to it.
"This is a new beginning in so many ways; dreams really can come true."
Calver is known for opening for Beyonce and Jay-Z during their On The Run tour earlier this year, and is rapper Fredo's official DJ.
She started her career at Radar Radio and i-D magazine described her as "the future of the music industry".
