Miquita Billie Alexandra Oliver〔("Miquita Oliver, ''Heat'' Celebrity A-Z. )〕(born 25 April 1984)〔 is a British television presenter and radio personality. She co-hosted Channel 4's ''Popworld'' from 2001 to 2006 and went on to present on T4 from 2006 to 2010 as well as having her own show, ''The Month With Miquita'', on 4Music. She has also worked in radio, hosting shows on BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 1Xtra. In April/May 2015 she took part in a four-part series ''24 Hours in the Past'' as herself. ==Biography== Miquita was born in Paddington, London.〔http://www.talktalk.co.uk/celebrity/biography/person/miquita-oliver/145〕 Her mother is former Rip Rig + Panic singer and television presenter Andrea Oliver, and her father is an art history teacher. Miquita Oliver attended Holland Park School. In 2001, aged 16, she became presenter of the Channel 4 music show ''Popworld'', co-presenting with Simon Amstell. The pair were known for employing a great deal of humour in interviews. They left the show in 2006, but Oliver continued to present the ''T4'' strand. After an incident in mid-2010 in which Oliver was overheard insulting singer Kesha behind her back by Kesha's management, Oliver was suspended from ''T4'' for six weeks and subsequently her contract was not renewed.〔http://www.virginmedia.com/newsfeeds//11587/2010/03/18/bs2bs98607miquita_oliver_banne/〕 She recorded her last ''T4'' in December 2010.〔(Channel 4. )〕〔("T4: Miquita has left the building". )〕 She has hosted shows on both BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 1Xtra, notably covering for Sara Cox and Spoony. She left her early morning show ''Oneclick'' to focus on TV projects. On 13 December 2007, during her appearance on the TV show ''Never Mind the Buzzcocks'' (which was hosted at the time by Simon Amstell), Oliver implied that she was sacked from BBC Radio One following a comment she made in an interview with ''NME'' magazine, about Fearne Cotton, calling her a "Devil Woman".〔(David Balls, "Miquita Oliver: 'I was fired from Radio 1'", Digital Spy, 7 April 2009. )〕 Oliver made a brief appearance in May 2007 on the BBC programme ''Neneh & Andi Dish It Up'' – which is presented by her mother Andrea and "Auntie" Neneh Cherry – and has also made appearances on political talk show ''This Week'', on 25 June 2009 and 17 December 2009. In March 2010 Oliver made a programme for Channel 4's ''T4'' called "Miquita's Oliver". She was set the challenge of starting a one-off urban production of the classic musical ''Oliver!'' from scratch. She had to cast it, script it and then direct it. The finished product was performed at the Hackney Empire to surprising critical acclaim. She now has her own television show, called ''The Month With Miquita'', which she hosts on the 4Music channel. She still presents programmes for ''T4'', such as ''T4 Movie Special'' in August 2011. In November 2011, Oliver filed for bankruptcy after non-payment of a tax bill.〔("Miquita Oliver faces bankruptcy over £170,000 tax bill", ''London Evening Standard'', 2 February 2012. )〕〔(Jenna Gregory, "Miquita Oliver Files for bankruptcy", ''Marie Claire'', 3 February 2012. )〕〔("Miquita Oliver facing bankruptcy over unpaid tax bill", ''Newsbeat'', BBC Radio 1, 2 February 2012. )〕 In December 2013 she presented the programme 'Young, British and Broke: The Truth about Payday Loans' on BBC3. She said that her own experiences of bankruptcy made her passionate about making the show.〔http://www.bbc.co.uk/consumer/25111583〕 Oliver's godmother is ''Holby City'' actress Amanda Mealing.〔 Oliver was a part of BBC TV Series 24 Hours in the Past, along with Colin Jackson, Alistair McGowan, Ann Widdecombe, Tyger Drew-Honey and Zoe Lucker. The 4 part series was aired from 28 April till 19 May 2015 on BBC 1. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Miquita Oliver」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
