Astor Media has confirmed that Jeff Stelling (pictured) will host the 2025 National Mortgage Awards – Second Charge, returning for its second year on 23rd October at The Underglobe, London.
The former Sky Sports presenter is one of the UK’s most recognisable broadcasters, known for his long-running role fronting Soccer Saturday and his sharp, quick-fire delivery.
He began his career reporting on the fortunes of Middlesbrough FC for Radio Tees, moving on to BBC Radio’s ‘Sport On 2’, then to TV-am, Channel 4 and EuroSport, before joining Sky.
Stelling has been named Sports Broadcaster of the Year for five successive years by the Sports Journalists’ Association, hosted ‘Countdown’, and appeared in the FIFA 15 video game.
He will bring his trademark energy to this year’s ceremony, which celebrates excellence across the second charge mortgage sector.
Ryan Fowler, managing director of Astor Media and publisher of The Intermediary, said: “Jeff Stelling is a household name, instantly recognisable and a brilliant live host.
“His involvement adds something special to what’s already shaping up to be a fantastic night.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming the industry for a proper celebration of everything that’s happening in the second charge space.”
