Lottery News Biography
Dedicoat joined BBC Radio Birmingham at Pebble Mill in 1979 as a presenter, before moving to BBC Radio Devon four years later. After his time in the West Country, he moved to London to join the Presentation Department of BBC Radio 2 at Broadcasting House, and later became its head, a position he retains. As part of this job, he read the news on BBC Radio 2's weekday breakfast programme, Wake Up to Wogan, before its demise in December 2009, as well as on Sarah Kennedy's show until she left the station in 2010. He then became the newsreader for Vanessa Feltz and on Sundays, but following a reshuffle of newsreaders in late 2012, he currently reads the news on weekdays between 10am and 5pm. He is also the voice of the Radio 2 "emergency CD" played when there is a fire alarm or other unforeseen break in programming.
It was as part of Wake up to Wogan that Dedicoat acquired the nicknames "Voice of the Balls" and "Deadly" from Terry Wogan, the latter by way of a deliberate Spoonerism - "Deadly Alancoat".
On television, as well as his role on the National Lottery programmes, he also takes part in the BBC's telethons such as Children in Need, announcing the totals at certain intervals and also voicing previews and the voice-overs in Strictly Come Dancing on BBC One. Since 2005, Dedicoat has been the voice-over for Dancing with the Stars, the American version of Strictly Come Dancing.[1] Since 2009 he has been the voice-over for the CBBC show Copycats.
Dedicoat also works as an After Dinner Speaker.[2]
On the 17th November 2012 edition of The National Lottery Saturday Night Draw, Dedicoat was criticised for being too slow to react after an error in protocol made from a member of the band, The Overtones, who were appearing on the show. The button to begin the main Lotto draw was almost pressed, in error, at the wrong juncture. Dedicoat, in his role of voiceover, failed to respond in time, leaving host Myleene Klass to salvage the situation. It was the latest in a series of high profile errors made at the BBC during 2012
