Wayne Tunnicliffe

Wayne Tunnicliffe / Wayne Bond (also known as Wayne Allen) is a British nightclub DJ and a radio presenter.
Early career
Allen was born in Derby but moved to Newcastle upon Tyne when he started as a DJ at the Ikon Nightclub (now called Liquid Nightclub) in Newcastle where he worked from 1997 to 2000. His radio career began after being spotted working at the nightclub by one of the Metro Radio bosses. He helped Metro Radio with their live shows from the club and practised in the off-air studios while at the station.
Radio career
In March 2007, Allen moved to TFM Radio in Stockton on Tees. He initially presented the Top Ten at Ten (part of the morning slot from 10am until 2pm) until late in 2009, when he was promoted to presenter of the flagship breakfast programme. He left the station in April 2013. He is now a guest presenter on Heart North East as a stand in for the regular on air presenters.
Other
TFM Radio requested that he use a second name to present the show and, as a tribute to his friend Alan Robson, he chose the stage name Wayne Allen.
He appeared on the Channel 4 daytime cookery TV series Come Dine with Me, where he eventually won the jackpot prize.
In May 2011, Allen confronted a brick-wielding raider outside a northeast pub. Convinced a robbery was about to take place, Allen, a karate black belt holder, launched himself at the man and used his martial arts training to restrain him until police arrived at the scene.
In 2014, Allen was a frequent DJ at Newcastle nightclub Flares on Saturday nights from 8pm to 3am.
