Delighted to be able to tell you that today I joined 16 amazing women from around the world, all working for BBC News, as we were named “Inspiring Women for 2024” Very very proud to be nominated by colleagues I respect, and recognised in an organisation needed more now than ever.

Think of this legend often, and what he would think of what I’m doing now. But he’s always in my heart on Children in Need. He was the heart and soul of the charity ❤️

It’s my birthday today. It’s also the 4th anniversary of the death of my glorious friend Anna. It feels important to say, especially after losing Rachael Bland yesterday, don’t look back with regret or panic - instead look forward with purpose. GETTING OLDER IS A PRIVILEGE.

I worked with Steve for years - he’s been a friend & mentor. I can’t believe I had to break this news but thank you to my kind colleagues who ran to tell me before I saw it on the wires. Steve loved to teach me about radio. Announcing his death on air was an unwelcome lesson.

The Royal Family may have extraordinary lives - but they have ordinary feelings. Grief is horrible. Thinking of the Queen, and those mourning the loss of their loved ones, their past and their future.

I’ve seen and had so many messages from devoted Steve Wright fans who say “I’m just a listener….” “I’m only a listener….” “I only knew him from the radio….” There is no such thing as “only a listener” Listeners are everything - full stop Steve knew that better than anyone.
