Tarrant started his national radio broadcasting career on
Capital FM, presenting the early breakfast show in 2014. In October 2016, he moved to the same time slot on
Radio X, presenting from 4am to 6:30am. He also began covering
The Chris Moyles Show when
Chris Moyles was on leave. Due to his profile being raised after increasing the listener figures on his early show by 29%, and also by appearing on Moyles' show, Tarrant moved to the mid-morning slot (10am-1pm) in April 2018, taking over from
Jack Saunders. The first hour of the show is the request hour. In October 2018, Tarrant won an episode of the
BBC One show
Pointless with fellow Radio X DJ
Johnny Vaughan (who replaced his father on the Breakfast Show at Capital). In May 2025, Tarrant appeared on an episode of
Katie Piper 's Weekend Escapes (Series 1, Episode 3) - the episode featured Tarrant participating in making cocktails and some Belly Dancing whilst wearing fairy wings. ==Personal life==
