The Saturday Show's Senior Producer apologised for Jake's "off the cuff remark" and hopes it was a one off, and not a regular occurrence Damson88 18:17, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Corrected Thorpe St Andrew... no s

Is it Jake or his agent who keeps adding stuff everywhere about jake being popular and a rising star? Damson88 21:18, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

There must be a better picture of Jacob somewhere. It's very unflattering showing the massive armpit sweatstain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.143.227.102 (talk) 23:14, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

male chauvinist style of presentation

Jake has a history of making sexist remarks. The main article used to include mention of such a remark on the Saturday Show, but I removed it in December 2005. Unfortunately, many years later, Jake continues to make offensive remarks in his sports commentaries. For exmaple during the London 2012 Olympics -

I think it might be worth reinstating reference to his sexist / male chauvinist style of presentation. Damson88 (talk) 12:36, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

Updates to Jake Humphrey profle page

This LLM-generated text has been collapsed and should be excluded from assessments of consensus.

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

I'm disclosing a conflict of interest — I work for Jake Humphrey's team (see my user page). I'd like to propose the following updates, all with independent sourcing:

1. New "Podcasting" section, after "Sports presenting": In March 2020, Humphrey founded The High Performance Podcast with sports psychologist Professor Damian Hughes, featuring long-form interviews with elite performers from sport, business and entertainment. The podcast won Best Performance & Wellbeing Podcast at the 2022 Sports Podcast Awards and has been nominated for several British Podcast Awards and Sports Podcast Awards since. Humphrey has cited the podcast's growing commitments as a factor in his decision to leave BT Sport in 2023.

In April 2026, Humphrey launched a spin-off podcast, High Performance Racing, alongside former Formula One team principal Otmar Szafnauer and race engineer Rob Smedley, marking his return to Formula One coverage after his 2009–2012 spell presenting the BBC's F1 coverage.

2. Update to "Writing" section: Humphrey and Hughes went on to co-author two further books: How to Change Your Life (2023) and Micro-Habits: Tiny Changes That Supercharge High Performance (Penguin, January 2026), the latter drawing on insights from over 400 High Performance Podcast interviews. In March 2026, Humphrey, Hughes and Oscar Millar published Game Plan: Level Up Your Mindset. Own Your Future. (DK Children), a guide to building confidence and resilience aimed at teenage readers.

3. Addition to career section on Whisper Group: Whisper Group has continued to grow since Humphrey's departure from broadcasting; the company reported turnover of £92.3m and pre-tax profit of £6.6m for the year to March 2025, up from £78m and £4.3m respectively. In 2025, Sony Pictures Television exited its 30% stake in the company, and Whisper opened a production hub in the United States.

4. Addition to BT Sport departure: His final broadcast for BT Sport was the 2023 UEFA Champions League final on 10 June 2023, where the network paid tribute to his ten-year tenure during the coverage.

5. Infobox photo update: Please replace the infobox image (currently File:Jake Humphrey IMGP2809 (37138040196).jpg, captioned "Humphrey in 2017") with File:

Jake Humphrey, English broadcaster, podcaster and entrepreneur

Updating Jake's page with new info on Podcasting and books

As I work with Jake Humphrey, I am suggesting edits via this talk page for an independent editor to consider and make changes rather than editing Jake's profile directly myself.
