Radio presenter Veena V won the ‘Best Radio Presenter’ at Channel 4’s 4Talent Awards, being the youngest nominee and only female in her category.

The 4Talent Awards aim to recognise UK’s young creative talent and are part of Channel 4’s drive to act as talent spotters for the people who provide Channel 4, E4, More4, Film4, and channel4.com with programming..

Veena said: “Being recognised by industry professionals for my radio presenting talent is a major achievement for me and I really can’t believe I won. I’m still in shock! I want to thank everyone who has believed in and supported me, it really does mean a lot” said Veena.

“Veena’s demo reel was well produced and showcased her fiery personality and presentation style. Her strong sense of self was an asset that was very Channel 4 sounding. It was this authentic and unadulterated presentation style which made her entry stand out.” said judge Sam Steele, Head of E4 Radio.

She left Club Asia radio last year, causing a storm.
