How did you come to be working for BBC Leicester? I came back to BBC Leicester after 21 years in a foreign land … Nottingham. But I started at Leicester making tea and answering phones for Saturday afternoon sport in the mid 80's. Who's been your best guest and why? Engelbert Humperdinck because he is a star who loves Leicester and I love playing his music on air. What's been your worst on-air moment? Getting a wrong number when I made a live surprise phone call for someone's birthday. The mistaken recipient was totally underwhelmed by a radio station calling them at 06:30 in the morning. What's your career highlight so far? Meeting Engelbert Humperdinck. Your favourite place in Leicestershire and Rutland and why? Swithland Woods where I used to play hide and seek with the family on a summer Sunday afternoon. Favourite television show? Dr Who Favourite food? Eggs and chips What do you do to help you relax? Stroke my cats… my boys love it.
