Bubble Hits today announced that Glenda Gilson will join the presenting team at the new music channel set to air on Sky Digital on the 14th August.


Top Irish model Glenda joins former Eastenders star Chris Parker and former Six singer Liam McKenna as a Showbiz Correspondent on the Irish owned station that will broadcast to over 31 million viewers in the UK and Ireland. The trio will front the entertainment features and exclusive interviews that will run throughout the day.


Following out-and-about trails at high profile gigs and events in the UK and Ireland, Glenda beat four short-listed hopefuls to land the role as Showbiz Reporter for this exciting new TV channel. Glenda’s first official interview for Bubble Hits will take place tonight (28th June) when she interviews pop sensations The Pussy Cat Dolls.


Speaking about her new role, Glenda, 25, said, “I’m absolutely ecstatic about my new role at Bubble Hits. I’ve had a lot of great help and support along the way and it’s such a huge opportunity for me. Not only is it my break into TV but also into the UK market. I can’t wait to really get my teeth into it and start working with Chris and Liam. They’re two top guys and we’ve had lots of fun together already during the trials.”


Bubble Hits prides itself as a no commercial breaks station which they believe will stop viewers flicking to other channels. Music shows such as ‘Get your Hits Out’, ‘Bubble Top 20’, ‘Bubble Cuddle’ and ‘Pop It or Drop It’ will form the basis of the stations programming. The station, owned by two young Irish entrepreneurs James Hyland and Lee Walsh, sees a return to the essence of music channels – to play music.
