Ore Oduba

Ore Oduba is a highly accomplished presenter and performer whose profile soared after he was crowned winner of the fourteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing. A versatile presence across British media, he has hosted major programmes including This Morning and The One Show, and has become a familiar voice to millions through his extensive work on BBC Radio 2. His broadcasting foundation was built at the BBC, where he transitioned from a reporter on the iconic children's news programme Newsround to presenting major sporting coverage, including the Olympic Games and Commonwealth Games. Beyond his television hosting, Oduba has established a successful career on the stage and screen. He made his West End debut in 2020 and has starred in acclaimed musical productions such as Grease, The Rocky Horror Show, and Curtains. His acting portfolio also extends to primetime drama with a role in the BBC series Noughts + Crosses. A graduate of Loughborough University with a degree in Sports Science and Social Science, he brings a deep understanding of athletics to his reporting, having previously fronted Match of the Day Kickabout and British Olympic Dreams. As a regular face on national charity broadcasts like Sport Relief, and a participant in physically demanding challenges such as Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, Oduba is recognised for his stamina and natural charisma. He is professional, engaging, and exceptionally skilled at managing large-scale live events, making him a premier choice for audiences seeking a host who can seamlessly blend warmth with high-calibre presentation. On stage, Ore Oduba is best known for talks on Broadcasting, Acting, Event Hosting and Sports Commentating. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room. Their work resonates with leaders across Entertainment and Media & Broadcasting, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy.
