Kirsty Shelts

Kirsty is one of the best emerging broadcast talents in the UK - and an all-round talent on and off screen. 

Kirsty was earmarked for a career behind the mic from just 16 via her own sporting accomplishments. 

Having played tennis at county level and after being selected in the national squad for biathlon, she was handpicked by BBC Radio Five Live during her time as a national swimmer. That whetted her appetite as Kirsty went on to report for the BBC during the British Swimming Championships in 2010 and then at the 2012 Paralympic Games. 

Kirsty was inspired to pursue a career in broadcast journalism and has since worked for TNT Sports, Amazon Prime, BBC, Sky Sports and Manchester United TV channel MUTV along with globally, working as a presenter for Sky NZ in New Zealand.

Kirsty now presents for The Women’s Rugby Show. The versatile Kirsty has worked as a voice over artists for a number of children’s TV promos including Nickelodeon and Disney. London-born Kirsty has also carved out a successful modelling career, working for numerous fashion labels.
