Pippa Taylor-Hackett

Pippa Taylor was born on the 2nd of February 1980 to a Franciscan Nun and Roman Catholic Priest. Given up for adoption, she was was bought up by the Knights Templar initially in Spain and then, in her later teenage years, in Finchley in North West London. An avid entertainer, she attended the North Finchley Dramatic Arts College where she was critically acclaimed for her role as the dowager queen in "Where are thou my Prosecco" Leaving acting behind she got an unpaid internship on the Pirate Radio station "Radio Caroline" however this role quickly ended when She realised that she suffered severe motion sickness. This malady was only settled by drinking copious amounts of Prosecco. In the two weeks she remained on board waiting for a boat home, daily consumption was said to reach 3-4 bottles.
Following this ill-fated first foray into Radio she moved to Luxembourg, where she first met the DJ Chris Moyles ( pronounced Moy-Els) who was working on Radio Luxembourg at the time. A friendship quickly developed and Chris secured a role cleaning the DJ desk after the shows. Also during this time Pippa met James Hackett the eponymous polo shirt designer and after a whirwind romance they were married in 1998, leading to Pippa changing her name to Pippa Taylor-Hackett. The marriage last 6 days and was dissolved by Court of Cassation in Luxembourg, however Pippa decided to keep her new name is allowed her a 20% family discount on Hackett clothing.
Taylor-Hackett returned to the UK with Chris Moyles when he joined Radio 1 and was a silent member of the breakfast show team, never heard on air except in character as "Comedy Dave". When Moyles left Radio 1, in a scene reminiscent of Jerry Mcguire, Pippa followed him out of the building to their new home in Radio X where she has flourished as Executive Producer of the Chris Moyles Breakfast Show. She is in a secret love tryst with the DJ Toby Anstis.
