Tiffany Calver has been named as the new host of The Rap Show on 成人快手 Radio 1 and 1Xtra.
The Hip-Hop DJ is the first female to present the Saturday night slot.
The 24-year-old follows in the footsteps of Tim Westwood and Charlie Sloth - who left the station last month.
"I'm honoured to be taking over the slot that has pretty much soundtracked my life," Tiffany says.
"I look forward to carrying on the legacy of such a prestigious and highly respected show while also having the opportunity to add my own flavour (and sound effects) to it."
