Radio: Audiences (for exams from 2023) GapFill

Since August 2020, the new hosts of KISS Breakfast have been Perri Kiely and  AshleyJohnnyJordanDanielle Banjo. The pair rose to fame as part of the dance troupe Diversity, a group from London and Essex that won the third series of  The X FactorStrictly Come DancingPop IdolBritain's Got Talent. After this success, the group became pop culture mainstays, going on to perform at the Royal Variety Show, numerous TV appearances and live tours. Diversity performed in a large ensemble, with highly choreographed  folkravefunkstreet dance routines. The group still exists today; however, many of the original members have gone on to pursue other careers in TV, radio and teaching dance. Jordan was born in Essex in 1992 and is of British and  South AfricanGhanaianLibyanNigerian heritage, and Kiely was born a few years later in 1995, also in Essex. After leaving Diversity, Kiely went on to finish as a runner-up in the  2018202020192016 series of Dancing On Ice alongside professional skater Vanessa Bauer. Perri and Jordan's background as entertainers and young black British men from the  BristolManchesterGlasgowLondon area makes them an ideal fit to host Kiss Breakfast, as this reflects one of the key audiences that KISS aims to connect to with its content. The pair have been outspoken about racist abuse they have received, particularly following a performance by Diversity about the   AntifascistBlue Lives MatterFeministBlack Lives Matter movement in 2020.
