About Melissa Riddell

Queen of social media Melissa Riddell first visited the Cool studios as part of our Cool Academy. After a five-week placement, she sent in a demo and we quickly snapped her up.

Having studied drama at University, Melissa has always wanted to pursue a career in the media industry, presenting being her goal from the offset.

Melissa is the proud host of what she describes as ‘the world-famous Cool goes Quiet,’ which was always her favourite hour to listen to growing up.

Melissa has a huge following on social media, where she chats about all things fashion, beauty and lifestyle.

During the week, Melissa also co-hosts the ‘What’s Happenin’ podcast alongside Curtis and Connor. Friends inside and outside of work, the trio discuss what’s been going on in their lives, in the world, and everything in between!

Tune in Monday to Thursday’s from 10pm to hear Melissa Riddell on Cool FM.
