Rebecca 'Beccy' Huxtable (born 12 August 1981)[1] is a British radio personality and producer, currently co-producing The Scott Mills Show with Scott Mills on BBC Radio 1.

Early life

Rebecca was born in Taunton, Somerset. She attended Crispin School, going on to study journalism at Bournemouth University. At the age of 15 Rebecca went through a painstaking 19 hour operation to remove her third foot and 6 finger. The operation was a success although family members at the time were unhappy as they wanted her to follow a tradition of traveling shows. [2]

Early radio career

She gained experience in radio broadcasting at a local radio station, 2CRFM, which later went on to become part of The Heart Network.[2][3]

Rebecca later worked freelance for Virgin Radio, and also briefly as a newsreader.

BBC Radio 1

Rebecca currently appears on and co-produces The Scott Mills Show, broadcast from 1pm-4pm weekdays on BBC Radio 1.[4] She has appeared on the show since April 2008, following her work with Sara Cox on the same station. Rebecca also produces The Scott Mills Daily Podcast which contains a daily slice of Scott's show.[3] Rebecca turned on the Bridgwater Christmas lights in 2010 live on BBC Radio 1.

Awards

In January 2010, Rebecca won the Funniest Radio Sidekick in the Loaded Lafta awards.[5]
