Nicki Shields

Nicki is the host presenter and pit-lane reporter for the FIA Formula E Championship – the new all electric racing championship on city street circuits round the world (think electric F1 if you haven’t seen it yet!). The first season included a busy calendar of 11 races in 10 cities from Beijing to LA to Monaco, broadcast live on ITV4, BT Sport, Fox Sport, CCTV, TV Asahi and more, to an estimated audience of 210 million. The first season was a great success with 2 million viewers on ITV and ITV4 tuning in for the grand finale in London Battersea Park on June 27th & 28th 2015.

Formula E is the perfect solution if you’re a petrol head and environmentalist like Nicki!

She is also the Formula Kart Stars Presenter on Sky Sports F1.

Nicki regularly presents at motor sports events, including ITV’s ‘Goodwood Festival of Speed’ show with Craig Doyle, ‘Cars of the Future’ with Robert Llewellyn and ‘Goodwood Members Meeting’.

Other credits include ‘BBC Children in Need CarFest’ with Chris Evans, Motors TV Race Day, and Silverstone Classic for ITV4.

Nicki’s presenting career got off to a great start hosting episodes of BBC1′s ever-popular series “Escape to the Country” in 2014.

Having grown up spending her holidays on a family farm in Yorkshire Nicki is a country girl at heart and has immensely enjoyed reporting on the future of farming and GM crops. Nicki has also investigated a number of other environmental issues including sustainability, electric cars, global warming and met with many top scientists and MPs along the way whilst working as a daily online reporter for the month long science expedition to the South Pole, ‘Willis Resilience’.

Nicki has always had a passion for technology and was a founding member of tech start-up, Starcount, a social media business and analytics tool. She strongly believes social media can be used to accelerate many conservation and wildlife research projects by tapping into the pool of researcher ‘fans’ on Facebook, Twitter, bloggers and the wider social media community.

Nicki loves the excitement of presenting and reporting from live events, credits include The Gadget Show Live, Goodwood TV, Confex 2014 & 2015, ICE Totally Gaming 2015, VitaFoods and the Bounce children’s festival.
