Roxy Burger

At the age of just 27, Roxy Burger boasts a television and film career spanning 15 years. After numerous international and local TV commercials and Disney film roles, Roxy landed her spot on MNETs flagship children’s channel, KTV, which saw her voice expertise and natural presenting ability flourish.

After graduating with her Bachelors Degree in Audiovisual Production Management from the University of Johannesburg and later her Honours Degree in Branding, Roxy left KTV to pursue her career as a TV Producer and worked as a Freelance Producer and Brand Strategist. She was also the co-owner and founder of Alexandra Knoxx Bridal Couture which she has subsequently sold off to a new owner.

During her time at varsity, campus radio came a calling and Roxy felt the need to pursue a career on the airwaves. After 3 years at UJFM, Roxy entered the 94.7 Highveld Stereo Hot Jocks competition, which saw her place second and continue as a DJ on the station for the next 2 years.

In 2010, Reality TV came a calling and Roxy joined the latest celebrity crew of Castaways on Survivor South Africa Maldives. She may not have won the million but after 16 days on the island she was definitely a favourite amongst fans of the show with her loud opinions and under-dog strategy.

In 2011, she also created and produced 5FMs (TV)5 which aired every Friday evening on SABC3 bringing fans closer to the biggest radio brand in the country.

Roxy presented Season 2 of SABC3s Flash in late 2011, a news entertainment platform, which was the perfect showground for her incredible fashion sense, timely wit and her ability to appeal to crossover audiences.

Another side of Roxy, which viewers came to know and love, on ONE Gospel’s music show “TGL” and “Feel the Vibe,” is the more spiritual aspect of her personality. She also presented “Unashamed” – a show where celebrities share their spiritual stories.

Roxy has recently been seen on VUZU TVs #10over10 and is a fan favourite on social media platforms. Especially after Trevor Gumbi crowned her the Queen of Wooty: white girl booty…

But the icing on top of this rather large cake was the announcement that Miss B is the newest MTV VJ on MTV South Africa. Not only is she hosting the channel’s flagship entertainment property, MTV Choice, but she is also the voice of the channel, bringing a lively and local flavour to channel 130 on DSTV.

Roxy got straight in there in August 2013 and worked the red carpet at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards in Brooklyn NYC where she got to witness, first hand, Miley Cyrus’ ahem thought provoking live performance. She interviewed the likes of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, 30 Seconds to Mars, Jennifer Hudson, 2 Chainz and Rita Ora. She most definitely held her own at that rather international affair.

Having sat down with the biggest international stars from around the globe will stand Roxy in good stead as host of MTV Choice – she has interviewed, amongst others, Rihanna, Larry King, Chris Brown, Liam Neeson, Sam Worthington, Jessica Alba, Maroon 5, President Thabo Mbeki… to name just a few.

In October 2013, Roxy launched a new online shopping venture with business partner and London-based Stylist, (at)sarahannstyles. Follow (at)OhOneOne for more.

Roxy’s latest TV gig is on one of South Africa’s most glamorous and most loved shows, Strictly Come Dancing. She is currently hosting Season 7 of the show with esteemed presenter Katlego Maboe. LIVE TV is Roxy’s forte so it’s an understatement to say she’s having the time of her life! Strictly Come Dancing is on air until September 2014 at 20:00 on SABC3.
