Kris Fade, a renowned radio host, has been entertaining listeners on Virgin Radio Dubai's morning show, 'The Kris Fade Show', for more than 16 years. His captivating style and magnetic personality have earned him a prominent place among the top radio presenters in the UAE.
Recently, Kris enhanced his prestigious career by clinching the Reality Personality of the Year award for his role in the popular Netflix series Dubai Bling at the National Reality TV Awards in London on July 31. Traveling to London via Emirates, Kris posted an inspiring message on social media, reflecting on his transformative experience with Dubai Bling. In his post, he reminisced about the moment he decided to join the show, a choice that challenged him to step out of his comfort zone.
He highlighted the importance of embracing opportunities and taking risks to achieve personal growth and new milestones. During his emotional acceptance speech, Kris expressed his heartfelt thanks and excitement. "Waddup London, make some noise. I relocated from Australia 16 years ago to launch a radio station called Virgin Radio. I promised my parents I'd stay for two years, but 16 years later, Dubai stands as the greatest city in the world. I am deeply honored to represent Dubai Bling here. Many of us didn't fully grasp what we were embarking on, just like many in this room."
"But I want to extend my gratitude to Netflix, Different Productions for orchestrating it all, and the entire cast. I am in disbelief that I am taking this home. Thank you so much, I appreciate all of you," Kris said while accepting the award on stage. The video capturing this poignant moment received a flood of congratulatory messages from his Dubai Bling co-stars, celebrating Kris's richly deserved accolade.
