**Elliott Webb** (born 15 April 1971 in [Worcester](/source/Worcester%2C_England)) is an English radio presenter.

## Early career

Webb started his career in 1989 at [Radio Wyvern](/source/Radio_Wyvern) in Worcester where he presented the evening show. From there he briefly presented the late night show at [Severn Sound](/source/Severn_Sound) in Gloucester and then moved to [MFM 103.4](/source/MFM_103.4) to present evenings again.

In 1991 he moved to Bradford to work at the newly re-launched [Pulse of West Yorkshire](/source/The_Pulse_of_West_Yorkshire). He hosted various shows until he took over presenting duties for Breakfast with co-host [Debbie Lindley](/source/Debbie_Lindley) until his departure in 1996.

More early starts followed with his move to [Galaxy 101](/source/Galaxy_101) in Bristol which had recently been acquired by [Chrysalis Radio](/source/Chrysalis_Radio). As part of a major revamp for the station Webb hosted the Breakfast Show with Sally Bailey until March 1997.

## BRMB

In April 1997 Webb moved to [BRMB](/source/BRMB), Birmingham to present the evening show and provide holiday cover for the then breakfast host, [Les Ross](/source/Les_Ross). It was during one of these cover periods in 1999 that Webb hosted the notorious [Two Strangers and a Wedding](/source/Two_Strangers_and_a_Wedding) contest[1] where people competed to win the chance to marry a complete stranger. Carla Germaine and Greg Cordell[2] were the chosen couple who tied the knot having met only minutes before. The contest received condemnation[3] from many but generated worldwide publicity for the station. It was later the subject of two networked [ITV](/source/ITV_(TV_network)) documentaries and gained much press coverage.

Webb eventually took over the breakfast show full-time following the departure of Ross in 2002. After 12 years, Webb was axed from BRMB in October 2009 following the purchase of the station by new owner [Orion Media](/source/Orion_Media).[4]

## Hit40UK and 95.8 Capital FM

In 2003 Webb covered presenting duties for the nationally broadcast chart show [Hit40UK](/source/Hit40UK).[5] He has also presented the [Capital FM](/source/Capital_(radio_network)) produced and networked weekly entertainment show *Seven* and the Capital FM weekend breakfast show.

## Current radio work

Since leaving BRMB, Webb has been working as a freelance presenter for a variety of BBC and commercial stations. Regular shows include weekday mid-mornings on [BBC Hereford & Worcester](/source/BBC_Hereford_%26_Worcester) and Sunday afternoon on [Heart Gloucestershire](/source/Heart_Gloucestershire). He also covers shows on [BBC Radio WM](/source/BBC_Radio_WM), [BBC Radio Shropshire](/source/BBC_Radio_Shropshire) and [BBC CWR](/source/BBC_CWR). From 3 November 2014, Webb hosted the breakfast show full-time with Toni McDonald following the departure of [Howard Bentham](/source/Howard_Bentham) on BBC Hereford and Worcester. Webb currently hosts the Daytime show on BBC Hereford and Worcester, with his producers Kalpana Boodhoo and Charlotte Broadbent. A most recent project involved Webb attempting to brew his own cider with apples and pears from the station's car park.

## Television

Webb has presented and contributed to a wide variety of TV shows throughout his career. These include regional news bulletins for Yorkshire Television's [*Calendar*](/source/Calendar_(News)), *Two Strangers and a Wedding* documentaries for ITV, *The Home Health Show* for [Discovery Home and Health](/source/Discovery_Home_%26_Health), *The Last Word* for ITV Central and the weekly studio debate show *Central Extra* also for ITV Central.

## *Flaps* podcast

Along with former BRMB producer Mark Newman, Webb is a presenter and producer of the award-winning *Flaps* podcast which discusses topics of interest to private and general aviation pilots. He was also a holder of a [private pilot licence](/source/Private_Pilot_Licence), which has now lapsed.
