It's party time at Buzz Bingo Derby after the local presenter, Issy was crowned Buzz Bingo’s Presenter of the Year 2024.
Issy, a bingo presenter at the popular bingo club for the past 18 months, took part in the eagerly awaited Buzz Bingo Presenter of the Year grand final on Sunday, September 15th. The hotly contested final saw Issy battle it out against five other finalists from various Buzz Bingo clubs around the UK.
Finalists recorded a video about themselves describing why they should win, live streamed to all the bingo clubs from the UK's largest bingo operator.
In a closely fought contest, the result of a month-long competition, judges named Issy the winner to the delight of the local crowd.
As well as calling the final bingo game, Issy also walked away with £500, a luxury 2-night break in the UK, and a place at the NBG Caller of the Year, hosted by the Bingo Association and being held at Wakefield on Sunday, 17th November.
Issy will now be up against presenters from other UK bingo operators competing for the prestigious national title.
“Still in Shock”
A jubilant Issy said:
Issy said: “I can't believe it, and I'm still in shock! The energy in the room is unreal. I’m so happy with how it all went today, and I’m fired up for the NBG Caller of the Year. I might change a couple of things, but I feel like I’m in a great spot after today!”
Claire Bingley, General Manager at Buzz Bingo Derby, added:
“Buzz Bingo Presenter of the Year is not only a wonderful celebration, but it's a moment to really show appreciation for all the hard work our presenters put into making bingo the game it is today! Issy truly embodies everything that makes bingo fun and exciting—a born entertainer who lights up the room with their infectious energy and has made many lifelong friendships at Buzz Bingo Derby over the last five years. We’re looking forward to supporting them at the NBG Caller of the Year final in November!”
