Continued to wake up Scotland as host of the Heart Breakfast show Scotland and fronted the hit comedy series Breaking The News on BBC Radio Show.

Des Clarke has extensive TV experience, beating thousands of hopefuls to be asked to host ITV1's Saturday morning programme SM:TV Live from March to December 2003, following the departure of Ant & Dec. He has presented BBC's Children In Need show for several years and at the MTV Music Awards and at 'T In The Park' has interviewed stars such as Beyonce, Robbie Williams, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Kylie and Christina Aguilera.

Des has also been involved in sports broadcasting, appearing regularly on BBC One Scotland's flagship football programmes, Offside and Sportscene as well as Sportsround on CBBC Channel.

Stand up comedy remains Des' first love and he performs his own solo shows annually at the Edinburgh Fringe and Glasgow Comedy Festival. He has toured the world with his unique brand of observational humour, appearing on stage in New York, Dubai, Australia and Los Angeles. Des has also received critical acclaim for his comedy, winning Chortle Best Newcomer and the ITV Golden Mic Award.
