Totally shocked to hear the news about the great Steve Wright. We were planning lunch to celebrate the award of his richly deserved MBE. An outstanding and innovative broadcaster whose listeners loved him. What a loss to the world of radio.

I will be presenting my last show on Radio 2 next Friday. I had intended fulfilling my contract until the end of March but the BBC has decided it wants me to leave earlier. Let’s enjoy the week ahead!

Steve Wright asked his colleagues not to mention his last Big Show on R2 so we didn’t. On Twitter though I can say what a giant of radio he is and how much we’ll all miss that daily presence; bright, engaged and engaging. Go well, friend!

To whomever has been in my dressing room and taken my diptyque candle, 2 nespressos, 3 bottles of Evian, a bottle of milk and eaten my caramel nibbles, I hope the coffee was burnt, the milk curdles, the bottles leaked in ur bag, youre sick from the nibbles and the wick falls off.
