ADRIAN Chiles has shared his expertise with college students by giving an online lecture.

The national television and radio presenter offered Barton Peveril Sixth Form College students an insight into his career.

He gave the lecture via video call, sharing with new first year students his journey from a student himself, to becoming a well-known presenter.

The lecture took place as part of the College’s Aspire Programme which helps the College’s students attain their educational goals.

Following the lecture Adrian said: "I’m always keen to speak to teenagers, especially those in state schools.

"If there’s anything I can say to help them look forward to tackling the lives ahead of them, I’m more than happy to share it.

"I could tell from the questions they posted for me that they’re full of intelligence, curiosity and, most importantly, fun."

Chiles has worked across a number of notable television and radio projects from Match of the Day 2 to the One Show and was the first speaker for this year’s programme.

Barton Peveril Careers manager, Shoonagh Hubble, said: "Thanks to presenter Adrian Chiles for delivering the opening talk to Barton Peveril's new Aspire students.

"His insights into celebrity, mental health and how you define "success" made him the perfect Aspire role model."
