Dr Sian Williams

Joining the team in 2005, Sian Williams spent seven years on the BBC Breakfast sofa co-presenting alongside Bill Turnbull.

In May 2012 Sian moved on to co-present BBC Radio 4's Saturday Live with the Reverend Richard Coles. Her ability to ask the questions we all want answered only adding to the wit and warmth of the show where ordinary people tell extraordinary stories, and a celebrity or two reveals their everyday side.

A key member of the main BBC One newsreading team, Sian presented for the Six O'Clock, One O'Clock and the Ten O'Clock News. Prior to her television presenting career, Sian spent seven years as an Editor on BBC Radio 4's World At One, PM and World This Weekend, producing programmes on the General Election, Budget Specials and Radio 4 specials on the US and Russian elections.

In 2016, Sian released Rise: Surviving and Thriving after Trauma, a personal story of how we can rebuild after a traumatic event shatters our life.

Sian is now an HCPC-registered Counselling Psychologist, primarily working in the NHS, helping people manage acute anxiety, stress and trauma.

With her easy interviewing style, as at home with stars of stage and screen as with first-time interviewees, Sian really is ideal for those events where you need a host who can bring warmth and verve to every subject under the sun.
