Jackie Brambles (born 1 March 1967), formerly known as Jakki Brambles, is an English journalist, radio DJ and television presenter. Brambles was born in Essex, England and grew up in Ayrshire, Scotland, where she went to secondary school at Ayr Academy in Fort Street, Ayr. She also began her radio career on local radio station West Sound in Ayr when she was 19. She then joined Capital Radio as its youngest DJ, and after a year on the evening show joined the BBC in 1988 as the first female presenter to get her own prime time show on the national pop network BBC Radio One.

Links To Peel[]
In April 1993, Brambles took a week's holiday, during which time Peel held her lunch hour programme slot. Alongside standard daytime playlist fare, Peel promised daily PJ Harvey and Camille Howard tracks, football songs and vintage session numbers. The experiment was never repeated after the shows, with Peel receiving many abusive faxes from listeners who wanted Brambles to come back. By the end of the week, Peel seemed to have become disenchanted by the inability of daytime listeners to open their ears to the sounds that delighted his night-time audience. His last link encouraged listeners to try out his evening show, although we'll never know how many did.
