Steven William Allen (born 17 March 1954, Bromley, Kent, England) is an English television and radio presenter, who is the early morning breakfast show presenter on London talk station LBC 97.3. He is the longest serving presenter on the Global Radio network, having worked at LBC 97.3 for over 30 years.
Radio career
Allen has broadcast on LBC radio for over 30 years. He worked as a nightclub disc jockey where he met Dale Winton and subsequently joined the United Biscuits Network, a radio station broadcasting to workers in the United Biscuits' factories. His voice was heard in Scotland, Liverpool, Manchester and London.
UBN closed in 1979 (following the Lorry Drivers' Strike during the Winter of Discontent) and he joined LBC as presenter of the Night Extra programme. 'The Night is Young' was the next series of programmes he presented and when LBC was separated into 1152 AM and 97.3 FM, Steve presented the afternoon show of 'London Talkback Radio' (latterly LBC News 1152) and 'Saturday Night Out'.
Steve has also worked for Blue Danube Radio in Vienna, a station sponsored by the United Nations. He was also the host of Crinkley Bottom radio on Noel Edmonds' House Party.
His current radio programmes are the early breakfast show between 4am and 6.30am Monday to Friday. His second show for LBC, In Conversation, is broadcast on Sunday at 6 a.m. and 9 p.m and features interviews with guests from the world of entertainment. Highlights include Julie Andrews, Lenny Henry, Victoria Wood, Michael Flatley, Andy Nyman, Paul Daniels, Dale Winton and Paul Zerdin.
In 2006 and 2007 he embarked on a live tour visiting theatres around the London area. All dates sold out within a day of going on sale.
In 2009 and 2010 Steve continued his sell out 'audience with' stage shows at the Queen's Theatre in Hornchurch and at the Mermaid Theatre in Central London. He was supported by fellow LBC presenter Anthony Davis.
In February 2011 he performed again at the Mermaid Theatre, supported by mind-reader Graham P Jolley.
Style of Radio Show
His rapid banter with his regular guests takes in news topics as well as incidents and irritations from his daily life.
Even a fellow LBC presenter has been known to be on the receiving end of Steve's comments. In a handover from former The Apprentice contestant James Max, after being introduced by James, Steve said "Oh go away, you boring old windbag!". The following week James had been criticising a minor celebrity while reading the newspapers. During the handover Steve said "It's no good nicking MY act!".
Regular guests include Julie Peasgood, Paul Savory, Darren Tossell, Nathan Morley, Jane Milligan, Roger Foss and John Warrington.
