The search for the next Kiss FM presenter came to Croydon at the weekend.

The London radio station launched the Kiss Chosen One, which will unearth the next Kiss FM presenter.

Hundreds of aspiring radio presenters visited the Whitgift Centre on Saturday to take part in a live audition at their mobile studio.

Hopefuls were offered the chance to follow in the footsteps of Kiss FM’s Rickie, Melvin & Charlie as well as former Kiss Chosen One winner, AJ King, and get their voice heard by millions of listeners across the country.

Amanda, the first shortlisted entrant from the Croydon Audition, said: “I was really nervous to begin with at the audition, but after I got in the swing of things, it was absolutely amazing.

“I loved every minute of it.”

The judging panel is made up of Kiss group programme director Andy Roberts and members of the Kiss FM on-air team, who will shortlist the five best entrants from each heat.

From there, the remaining few will be set tests and challenges where the public can vote for their favourite personality.

And then finally, the Kiss team will review the final five and crown the most successful contestant The Kiss Chosen One.

Andy Roberts, Kiss group programme director says: "This is a fantastic opportunity for someone.

"They’ll be heard and seen by millions of people who listen and watch Kiss each week.

"I can’t wait to find our next Kiss presenter."
