About Danni
Danni Menzies is a Scottish broadcaster, adventure host and automotive presenter whose career spans television, live events, radio and digital media.
Known for her adventurous spirit and passion for cars and motorsport, Danni has presented everything from McLaren Vista’s live Formula 1 coverage and ITV’s Silverstone Festival highlights to the UK’s Strongest Man and Channel 4’s A Place in the Sun.
Equally at home on location, on stage or behind the wheel, Danni combines the experience of a seasoned broadcaster with a natural curiosity, warmth and sense of adventure that connects with audiences across traditional and digital platforms.
Danni is a bonafide petrol head who has worked with various car brands
Notably, Danni co-hosted Amazon Prime’s Car and Country where she was in the driving seat –literally! As she got to travel around the UK in supercars.
Danni’s need for speed has enabled her to work with the likes of Formula E, Polestar Cars, Goodwood Festival of Speed, Hyundai, McLaren and Formula Woman Racing. She’s also taken part in numerous driving events, such as demolition derbies and a rally race through Wales (which she won, naturally!).
Danni’s TV credits and appearances
Other TV credits include BBC Mastermind, BBC Three’s coverage of T in the Park, coverage of London Fashion Week and participating in ITV2’s Mental Health Awareness Week campaign in association with CALM.
Away from the camera, Danni is an accomplished event host and has worked with The Ideal Home Show, Shelter’s annual Christmas Carol Service and Walk the Walk, which saw Danni entertaining upwards of 17k people on the day.
Danni Menzies personal life
Danni grew up deep in the Scottish countryside, and loves nothing more than getting her boots on and hiking the hills. It’s within this breath-taking scenery that Danni learned to drive, aged 10, in a car with no doors on the family’s estate! That experience lit the fuse, and now she’s a bona fide petrolhead.
Her fierce competitive streak also saw Danni on the winning team at the Scottish Equestrian Championships in show jumping and dressage. A keen equestrian and qualified riding instructor, Danni once found herself having to build her own stables after rescuing a number of horses bound for a meat factory in Hungary.
Danni’s Charity work
Danni has been a regular volunteer at the London Soup Kitchen for several years. This led to her helping to build and launch Home Kitchen London, the world’s first fine dining restaurant which is staffed by homeless people. Danni is passionate about this project and giving people a chance to get back on their feet.
With a substantial online following, especially on Instagram, Danni has collaborated with – and created high-quality content – for brands such as McLaren, Cupra, Gordon’s Gin, Virgin Active, Virgin Red, and Fenty Beauty.
Danni is a deeply passionate and positive individual who is a champion for mental health charities and lives in the world of wellness when she’s not in a fast car.
