Tim Lovejoy is an English television presenter, famous for his Saturday morning football show on Sky Sports - Soccer AM - alongside co-host Helen Chamberlain. He has the unique honour of being Sky Sports' only producer-presenter - he is responisble for many of the antics, gags and comic sketches for which the show has become famous. His typical humour have made him a popular face in UK programming and in general with the British public.

Tim began work in the music industry, as a merchandise manager for touring bands. He moved into television as a cover-VJ for the MTV music channel. He joined Planet 24 working as a researcher for The Big Breakfast, before going on to produce the show. In September 1995, he began what would become one of the most popular breakfast shows in Britain, and arguably one of the most influential too.

Tim presented a radio show on London's Xfm before moving to Virgin Radio, where he presents a Sunday afternoon show once a week.

One of his most notable achievements in his time as host of Soccer AM is masterminding the entry of "bouncebackability" into the English dictionary.

Tim is known for his support of Chelsea.
