Suzi Perry
Suzi Perry (born May 1970) is a British television presenter covering Grand Prix motorcycle racing for BT Sport. She is known for covering Grand Prix motorcycle racing for the BBC for 13 years, The Gadget Show on Channel 5 for eight years and the BBC's Formula One coverage from 2013 to 2015.
Perry was born at RAF Hospital Cosford in Cosford, Shropshire, the daughter of a music promoter, and her godfather was guitarist Mel Galley.
Brought up in Finchfield, she attended Smestow School in Wolverhampton, and had a school job as a lighting technician at the Wolverhampton Grand Theatre. Perry went on to study business studies and finance at Wolverhampton Polytechnic, now the University of Wolverhampton.
After graduation, Perry spent 12 months in Japan working as a model, then as an advertising model following her return to Britain.
Perry is mainly known as a motor sports correspondent, reporting on motorbike racing for BBC News as well as presenting other sports-related programmes, including Wimbledon, the Boat Race, the London Marathon, Royal Ascot and the Great North Run. She helped to present the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.
From 1997, Perry presented coverage of BBC Sport's Grand Prix motorcycle racing for 13 years. In February 2010, following a year in which she suffered a number of health issues including viral meningitis and an ectopic pregnancy, it was announced that she was stepping down from presenting motorcycle racing. She stated that the extensive travelling involved combined with her other TV commitments was having a detrimental effect on her work-life balance.
Following her departure from motorcycle racing, Perry was part of the BBC presenting team at the 2010 Epsom Derby, and Royal Ascot. She was due to be part of the 2011 Grand National coverage but was replaced at the last moment – without any explanation – by Dan Walker, who happened to be at Aintree presenting Football Focus on the same day.[citation needed]
On 21 December 2012, the BBC announced that Perry would replace Jake Humphrey as presenter of the BBC's Grand Prix car racing coverage from the 2013 season, covering 10 live races and 10 highlight shows. She also wrote regular blogs for BBC Sport to give a behind-the-scenes look at F1. This was the first time a woman had taken on the full-time main anchor-role in Formula One on British TV.
