Welcome to Essex In The Media!

Zoë Nicholson. 19. Chelmsford, Essex.

Former BBC Production Coordinator Apprentice and now working full-time as a Production Coordinator, still at the BBC. And loving it.

A blog that started off as a destination for updates on local Essex celebrities, news and events has evolved in the years I've been writing.

It soon became a hub for features on TV, Radio, Music, Festivals and tales of life as a Sixth Form student.

As I started my career in the BBC, my blog became a diary, logging the steps of my apprenticeship and the experiences I gained along the way.

And now as I continue my career in the media, I hope to combine all of these things together, continuing my career diary and combining this with articles based around my love of music, radio and television.

So there you have it - Essex In The Media.

Sport Relief Returns for 2012...

It's that time of year again when the greatest heads at the BBC are put together to create one of the greatest fundraising events of the year.

The event that alternates with Red Nose Day, or Comic Relief, every year, is back on Friday 23rd March, where the tele-marathon will begin. This will be succeeded by the Sport Relief mile on Sunday 25th March, whereby events will be held up and down the country, with the public being able to run 1, 3 or 6 miles to raise money for the charity. Essex's very own Olly Murs is one of the many celebrities taking part.

This isn't the only Sport Relief event that Murs will be contributing to...

24th March will see a special Sport Relief matinee show being held at London's O2 Arena, headlined by JLS. Olly Murs and Rizzle Kicks. Tickets are still available and all proceeds will go to Sport Relief.

Olly's hat-trick of Sport Relief events will be completed when he takes part in Lets Dance for Sport Relief. The BBC1 show returns this year on 18th February and will see Mr Murs performing alongside Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills. Another Essex appearance will also be made when TOWIE stars and cousins Amy Childs and Harry Derbidge perform. Other dancers will include Ulrika Jonnson & Angelos Epithemiou from Shooting Stars, DJ Tony Blackburn, comedian Omid Djalili and many more.

The show will also include performances from some of the biggest names in music including LMFAO, Tinchy Stryder, Will Young, JLS, as well as Brentwood's Pixie Lott.
