Broadcaster - Television Presenter and Radio Personality
Miquita Oliver is a much-loved broadcaster and alongside Lily Allen is one-half of Miss Me? – the BBC Sounds podcast.
Lily and Miquita, who have been friends since birth, discuss the trials and tribulations of their lives, looking back at nostalgic moments and trends while discussing current culture – all with a no-nonsense, fluff-free, funny spin. The podcast enjoyed a highly successful first season, remaining in the top ten of the charts and regularly ranking first for the most listened-to show.
Miquita began her broadcast career co-presenting the iconic music show Popworld alongside Simon Amstell. For the next decade, Miquita went on to present on Channel 4’s T4 and developed a reputation as a skilled and respected broadcaster.
Over the years, Miquita has enjoyed many broadcasting highlights, including the critically acclaimed BBC3 documentary Young, British and Broke (2013) and Vandals and Visionaries (2017) for BBC One West, which explored the creativity and criminality of street art in Bristol.
Miquita has collaborated on many memorable projects with her mother, the television and radio presenter Andi Oliver. They are co-hosts of the ‘Stirring it up’ podcast, where they welcome special guests around the kitchen table for a feast of laughter and deep conversation.
In 2022, Miquita and Andi embarked on the family journey of a lifetime to reconnect with their West Indian roots, travelling to the Caribbean for a two-part BBC2 documentary.
Since 2021, Miquita has been a guest host on Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch, and continues to engage and entertain millions of viewers.
