BBC Radio Wales Breakfast Presenter | TV & Sports Broadcaster | Welsh Bilingual Journalist | Event Host | ITV & S4C Presenter
Dot Davies is one of Wales’s most respected and recognisable broadcasters, with a career spanning BBC, ITV, S4C, BT Sport, Radio 4, and Radio 5 Live. A fluent Welsh speaker, Dot is currently the voice of mornings on the BBC Radio Wales Breakfast Show, where her warmth, wit, and journalistic authority wake up listeners across the nation.
Dot’s broadcasting career began in sports journalism, where she quickly became a trusted presenter across major networks. She has fronted coverage of the Rugby World Cup for ITV, and the Six Nations Championship for both BBC and S4C, bringing energy, expertise, and personality to every broadcast. Her national profile rose further when she joined the BBC’s Wimbledon coverage, co-presenting alongside — and occasionally standing in for — John McEnroe, earning praise for her engaging courtside reporting and professionalism.
With decades of experience in news, current affairs, and live broadcasting, Dot has established a reputation as one of Wales’s leading journalists — equally skilled at holding senior politicians to account as she is at creating space for guests to share their most personal stories. Her broadcasting credits span BBC Radio Wales, Radio Cymru, Radio 4, ITV’s Wales This Week, and S4C’s flagship current-affairs series Y Byd ar Bedwar.
Dot’s versatility extends well beyond news and sport. She has presented S4C’s National Eisteddfod coverage and fronted the critically acclaimed documentary series Cyfrinachau’r Llyfrgell, exploring the treasures and hidden vaults of the National Library of Wales with some of the country’s most famous faces.
A natural communicator and seasoned live event host, Dot is also a popular choice for corporate and public events, where her professionalism, humour, and bilingual fluency ensure every audience feels at ease.
Raised on a farm near Cardigan in west Wales, Dot’s love of the outdoors, coastline, and countryside remains central to her life as she and her husband raise their three children.
Authentic, confident, and highly experienced, Dot Davies continues to be one of the most trusted voices in Welsh broadcasting — a journalist and presenter who brings intelligence, empathy, and credibility to every programme she fronts.
