Annabel Port (born 12 March 1975, Southend-on-Sea) is a Sony Award-winning British radio presenter. She was the co-presenter of Geoff Lloyd with Annabel Port on Absolute Radio from 2008 until the show ended on 12 April 2017. Previously, she has worked on The Geoff Show and read travel reports on the Pete and Geoff Breakfast Show which she hosted along with Lloyd and Pete Mitchell before the latter's departure in December 2005.
Annabel Port was educated at Westcliff High School for Girls and Oxford Brookes University.
Prior to working in radio, she taught English to Poles and Mexicans for three years, spent six months doing data input, one week cleaning an old people's home and to her knowledge holds the national record for the 6 years she held a paper round (until the unusually mature age of 18). Port is a former presenter of Whipps Cross Hospital Radio.
On 14 January 2001 she came to Virgin Radio on a work experience placement and was spotted by Lloyd. Since then she has auditioned to be Michael Hutchence's replacement in INXS and has been to circus school. In a show broadcast on 9 September 2005, Sir Paul McCartney assisted her in completing a song about beef tomatoes.
Port has worked on 'The Geoff Show' since its inception in January 2006 and has devised and presented a number of radio features, including "Porting Controversy", as well as a velvety broadcast voice on the infamous "Dirty Book At Bedtime". In January 2007, she became the Head of Showbusiness on The Geoff Show, and is still a prominent and notable member of the Absolute Radio team and Geoff Show symposium. She is well known for her unique take on the world with features such as 'Annabel versus the Internet.'
