Jake is the BBC’s Formula 1 presenter and he will be presenting the London Olympics for the BBC. 2011 was his third season at the helm, having anchored the coverage since F1’s return to the BBC in 2009.

Presenting highlights for Jake include the 2008 Olympics from Beijing, Euro 2008, a trip to India for Sport Relief and the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne.

In between races, Jake presents live BBC championship football coverage and is co-host of the flagship show BBC Sports Personality of the Year. 2010 also saw him present the Super Bowl, the Olympic Countdown show and co-present the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games.

Jake is the youngest ever presenter to host the hat-trick of BBC Sport programmes Football Focus, Match Of The Day and Final Score. Jake’s BBC credits also include presenting from the Beijing Olympics, Euro 2008, the 2007 Fifa Women's World Cup in China, American football and the 2008 and 2010 Africa Cup of Nations.

Jake began his career at Norwich-based Anglia TV, where he started out as a runner before working his way across various productions and through the ranks to become a researcher.

After he ended up presenting by accident, Jake was advised to make a show reel, which led to him hosting a live daily sports show for TWI and, eventually, on to CBBC where he spent six years.
Jake had the prestigious honour of ringing in 2011 for the BBC’s live coverage from London’s Embankment.
