About Zoey Bird

Zoey is an exciting and dynamic presenter/journalist who has exceptionally diverse qualities. Her current work on ‘At the Races’ and ‘Sky Sports’ has led her to being a much loved and well recognised figure in the world of horse racing. Coming from a family background within the racing world, she has been able to bring this knowledge and experience to the fore. She has even been known to take part in the occasional race for charity!

She started her broadcasting career on local BBC radio before she transferred to ITN as a junior reporter to begin her presenting career with a stint in their newsroom. This was quickly followed by her presenting the evening weeknight bulletins for ‘5 News’. She combined that with reports on entertainment for 5’s weekend news shows and on rural affairs for the lunchtime and evening news bulletins. This exposure led to a daytime slot hosting on the ITN Newschannel and regular stints reporting for ‘First Edition’ on Channel 4. Eager to expand her ‘live’ presenting skills Zoey was thrilled to be offered a chance to front ‘Sky’s’ brand new channel dedicated to Horse Racing ‘At The Races’ Her natural style and extensive knowledge of this world meant that she was soon hosting its morning News show on ‘Sky Sports’ they also asked her to start presenting the ‘Winning Post’ section.

Her aptitude for ‘live’ unscripted work, on which she thrives, has given her the opportunity to indulge in her love of travel over the last few years by presenting programmes for Sky from such diverse parts of the world as France, America, South Africa, Dubai and Australia. During this period she has also had the opportunity to go back to her roots and file racing reports into ‘Talk Sport’ radio. She has also recorded many Sky V/O promos for the station.

As a well recognised figure in the world of racing, Zoey often hosts industry related Award ceremonies and Events. Her sassiness, love of fashion and the broader, social side of sport, combined with her wit and journalistic skills resulted in her being headhunted by The Sun Newspaper. She writes a weekly Saturday racing column for them.

Zoey is keen to broaden her expertise in all areas of Broadcasting – not just sport and is ready for a challenge!
