Alexis’ keynote was universally very well received by staff, and I think we were all a bit sad when it finished; we could have listened a lot longer!

You can hear Alexis every Saturday and Sunday on his Times Radio show where he untangles the headline-making stories – from consumer revelations and political commentary to the ideas and discoveries changing the way we live. Plus arts, books, and another of Alexis’ passions, food! Alexis also has his own Channel 5 show, where he explores current affairs with the help of callers, discussing the public’s views and opinions on the country’s most important news items.
Although Alexis’ career in presenting began in 2005, it was his childhood that sparked his interest in the dark world of scams, fraud, and trickery. This extensive knowledge led to him being asked to join the BBC show Hustle as an advisor, and following on from this he was asked to write and present The Real Hustle on BBC3, eventually appearing in 11 series and several specials for the channel. Alexis has also hosted a variety of shows utilising his skills in consumer journalism, advocating for awareness of deceptive practices across the world of seemingly above-ground businesses.
He produced and presented the critically acclaimed documentary Gambling Addiction and Me: The Real Hustler, travelling from Britain to Las Vegas to explore the reality of gambling, and how a habit can spiral into addiction.
In 2016 Alexis tested his hustler skills on Discovery Channel’s Man vs Expert, a six-part series seen across 224 countries, wherein he attempted to beat three world class experts at their own game, giving him the confidence he needed to be crowned Celebrity MasterChef Champion in the same year.
