Alex Zane (born Faris Alexander L. Albayaty) is an English television presenter and DJ.

[1] His father is an academic based in Trinidad and his mother a charity worker from Leeds, though a March 2014 interview with the Evening Standard reports that "Wikipedia has Zane's real name as Faris Alexander L Albayaty but when I email asking him to clarify this and some other family details his responses are prompt, polite and discreetly uninformative".

He moved to London to concentrate on his career, and before leaving medical school, he presented "The Alex Zane Show" on UCL's student radio station Rare FM.

[8] The show is presented live and blends Alex and DJ Dan's taste in music with the NME Radio playlist.

He has narrated an E4 television show, Princess Nikki, and made appearances on Channel 4 entertainment programmes such as The Law of the Playground, 8 out of 10 cats and Balls of Steel.

[9] In July 2009, he co-hosted Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince: A T4 Special with Rick Edwards and hosted the Channel 4 coverage of Inglourious Basterds.

[13] In 2019, he began presenting movie podcast Clash of the Titles, along with Chris Tilly and Vicky Crompton.
