Sabet Choudhury was always interested in journalism, starting out at his local newspaper in Gloucestershire in the 90s before becoming a freelance reporter for larger national newspapers and radio stations. He would go on to become a regular broadcaster for BBC Radio Gloucestershire. He would then go on to work for 5Live on Up All Night and their Breakfast show.

His big television break came in 2005 when he became a reporter for BBC Points West, a role he would keep until 2021. Since 2022, Sabet has been working for ITV News West Country on their various regional news programmes.

Sabet has reported on some serious subjects across the BBC on documentaries, including Sleeping Rough for the Victoria Derbyshire programme, as well as on Amazon drivers, transplants and trafficking and pet influencers for Inside Out West (2016-2019). He has also reported on the slightly more uplifting Bog Snorkelling and Great Big Cheese Chase for BBC One.

Sabet is particularly passionate and interested in ethnic minority communities and the hardships they face. This stemmed from a personal project, where he donated a kidney to his mother after she told him she only had a few months to live. The donation would be covered across BBC programmes, highlighting why there are so few donations from ethnic minority people – only 3.5% at the time the donation occurred, and what this has done to bolster the illegal organ trade. His interest in minorities doesn’t stop there, and he is now interested in the history of slavery and its links back to him, and he often presents and talks about such related topics as the Black Lives Matter movement.
