Biography:

Ronke Apampa is the presenter and co-producer of the popular Black Variety Show on OBE TV (Sky Channel 204) in the United Kingdom.  The show is the No.1 television programme for Nigerian and African lifestyle, fashion and arts outside Africa.  Broadcast to over 2 million homes across Europe.  Ronke, at 26 years old, has become a force to be reckoned within the entertainment industry.

Born in Ibadan Nigeria, to a Barrister father and a mother who's a registered nurse, Ronke is the second of four children (with two brothers and one sister).  A brilliant student from her Primary school days, Ronke finished High school at the age of fourteen.  Her career started in Nigeria as a young catwalk model and later as a co-host on a teen oriented television programme on Lagos Television.  She also had her own column in a Lagos newspaper while studying journalism.

Standing at 6 feet tall, Ronke’s modelling took her to Paris for the Nigerian Fashion Show and on her return decided to try television presenting as a career.  She soon travelled to London as a presenter on a show about Nigerians living in London and later got signed to the production/management company R70 World as the presenter of the programme Out and About on BEN TV.  Because of her warmth and charm on the show, and the unmistakable realness in her unique interview approach, Ronke soon became a not-to-be-missed feature every Saturday afternoon as the presenter of the Black Variety Show, a laid back entertainment programme for people of all ages broadcast live from the heart of London.

The Black Variety Show gave Ronke the exposure that has now taken her to new heights, appearing on many magazine covers and well sought after for hosting events, TV specials and photo shoots by African designers.  She has interviewed some of the world’s biggest stars in America and has become a recognisable face at Fashion Weeks around the world.

A graduate of Law and a constant traveller to high profile events to record special features for her show, Ronke is now setting her sights on taking her career to another level while spearheading the fashion show with a difference, Stars On The Runway, to help raise funds for children's charities in Nigeria.

Ronke Apampa is an Aquarian, lives and works in London England, primarily as a TV presenter and producer, and as an events consultant and organiser.  She is a mother to a lovely daughter, and in her spare time, she likes to read motivational books and attend acting classes.
