  • She was born in Paddington, London. Her mother is former Rip Rig + Panic singer and television presenter Andrea Oliver. In 2001, aged 16, Miquita Oliver became presenter of the Channel 4 music show Popworld, co-presenting with Simon Amstell. The pair were known for employing a great deal of humour in interviews. They left the show in 2006, but Oliver continued to present the T4 strand. After an incident in mid-2010 in which Oliver was overheard insulting singer Kesha behind her back by Kesha's management, Oliver was suspended from T4 for six weeks and subsequently her contract was not renewed. She recorded her last T4 in December 2010. She has hosted shows on both BBC Radio 1 and BBC Radio 1Xtra, notably covering for Sara Cox and Spoony. She left her early morning show Oneclick to focus on TV projects. On 13 December 2007, during her appearance on the TV show Never Mind the Buzzcocks (which was hosted at the time by Simon Amstell), Oliver implied that she was fired from BBC Radio One following a comment she made in an interview with NME magazine, about Fearne Cotton, calling her a "Devil Woman". Oliver made a brief appearance in May 2007 on the BBC program Neneh & Andi Dish It Up - which is presented by her mother Andrea and "Auntie" Neneh Cherry - and has also made appearances on political talk show This Week, on 25 June 2009 and 17 December 2009. In March 2010 Oliver made a programme for Channel 4's T4 called "Miquita's Oliver". She was set the challenge of starting a one-off urban production of the classic musical Oliver! from scratch. She had to cast it, script it and then direct it. The finished product was performed at the Hackney Empire to surprising critical acclaim. She now has her own television show, called The Month With Miquita, which she hosts on the 4Music channel. She still presents programmes for T4, such as T4 Movie Special in August 2011. In November 2011, Oliver filed for bankruptcy after non-payment of a tax bill. Oliver's godmother is Holby City actress Amanda Mealing.
