Alex West & Numi Gildert sit in for Scott, to count down to the UK's Official No.1 on their first ever Radio 1 show.

Alex and Numi join forces to present The Official Chart as part of Radio 1's Christmas Presenters for 2020 - a week of new presenting talent taking over the schedule. The pair hail from Reading and Macclesfield respectively and are now both based in London.

They both earned their radio stripes presenting on University Radio York, where Numi (aged 26) recently submitted a PhD thesis in robotics, and Alex spends time in uni kitchens dancing to The Prodigy鈥檚 鈥楩irestarter鈥.

Numi: "Honestly I can鈥檛 believe it but I am absolutely honoured and so thankful to Radio 1 for this opportunity. I鈥檓 so excited to get back behind the mics with Alex and have a blast!"

Alex: "Being able to present on Radio 1 still feels like a dream, I'm bouncing off the walls and my imposter syndrome is through the roof right now... 2020 has been a bit rubbish, hasn't it - so I'm looking forward to getting stuck in and kicking off 2021 in the best way possible, alongside one of my closest mates!鈥
