I’ve listened to radio 2 since I was 15 (heck of a long time ago). I’ve been disappointed by many of your colleagues leaving in recent years, but have just about stuck with it. But I’m afraid the good ship Ken is one step too far. Will be switching over when you go. Good luck.
This is such a shock. During Covid I encouraged people to turn to Emily’s wonderful journalism for the real story. I didn’t know her personally, but felt a connection through her remarkable, engaging work. I’m so sorry for all her family and friends.
So big news in my world... I’m quitting TV until January 2019 to look after my baby daughter. She came in to
@ITVCentral
today to see me on my last day. So now it’s out with the script writing and the on screen banter and in with the nappies. Wish me luck!
It’s been a joy working with this legend, he will be missed. I guess you could call it the changing of the guard. But not before the
@ITVCentral
team have given him a good send off with some bubbly! Don’t forget the special programme at 22:45 tonight on
@ITV
#ByeByeBob
Breaking news... I HAVE A BABY!! Lilly Ann arrived yesterday and is fabulous. She’s already excited for England v Belgium... although she thinks Southgate should rotate the squad a bit.
@ITVCentral
Hi
@mishacollins
we are on holiday with the family and woke up to find my daughter had added this to the Chalk board, she had waited up until midnight (UK time) to do it... I’m hoping she’s baked cake too!
What an amazing birthday present from my in-laws! Pictured are all 6 official Bond actors. Here I am doing a lame job of being the 007th

Last night I met the greatest film director (in my opinion) the world has known. John Glen you are a legend, your films have provided me with so much pleasure and talking to you left me on an emotional high. Or you might say on an ‘All time high’.
Hi, just want to thank the staff at
@premierinn
in Nottingham (Goldsmith St). We stayed Christmas Eve. So much effort for all guests, gifts for us, mince pies and carrots for you know who. And in the morning... look who had left foot prints and treats! All done with a smile :-)
We won GOLD!! Performance award, reflecting our astonishing rise in viewing figures. Thank you to the team at
@itvcentral
for making such watchable programmes. Thanks to all of you for giving us your time every day. We really really appreciate it!
Breaking news: I am told Notts County staff have finally been paid - as promised by the new owners. the money went into accounts an hour ago.
@ITVCentral
A real treat tonight. Joined in the studio by not only Bob Warman but one of my all time favourite comedians

Devastated to hear the news of the passing of Paul O’Grady. He had such warmth, in person and on screen. I only spent one afternoon in his company, but left feeling I’d known him for years. I don’t doubt he made everyone feel like that. RIP. What are your memories of Paul?
It’s been a pleasure being
@mattteale
‘s head of security for so long. Going to miss the endless banter and shared view on the world. But he’s off to the sunny south with
@itvmeridian
and I’m sure he’ll be as loved there as he is here. Good luck mate.
Stopped off to say ‘hi’ to Ozzy, Birmingham’s new landmark. We’ll have more in
@ITVCentral
in the West mids at 6, including a very special interview with someone who knows Ozzy better than anyone…
Well that was an exciting ‘first’
@ITVCentral
in the hot seat (well first since it became my job!). I rather hope they are all a bit like this. Thanks
@JournoChar
for top team work tonight :-)
I know I have a lot of
#Bond
community on my Twitter. For those in the midlands (East or West) watch the special programme for Bob on
@itv
at 22:45. You will LOVE the final few minutes!
Two presenters, one show, 15 years apart! Can’t believe we’ve reached this milestone! As
@SameenaITV
said this morning “like all good relationships after 15 years we sit much further apart”! Oh and note my tie - same in both pictures! See you at 6 for
@ITVCentral
This is purely for
#DoctorWho
fans. I’m intrigued in your ‘unpopular opinions. I’ll start. Had Silver Nemesis come at the end of season 24 or the start of season 25 it would be regarded as a stone cold classic. As opposed to the unloved story it seems to be.
We used to be at the cutting edge of TV News. Now we find ourselves at the generally soft and wet end of nappies. Thanks for lunch
@mattteale
! See you back at
@ITVCentral
soon!
London bound for a very special event honouring one of the greatest film directors of all time. For a Bond fan like me, few days will ever be as thrilling as this!

Just out from watching
@HamiltonWestEnd
- my breath completely taken away. Absolutely incredible. Well done to every member of the superb cast, the musicians, the director, choreographer and all the back stage team. Simply the greatest theatre experience I’ve had. Thank you.
Firstly, I am taller, he’s on a step! Secondly, Frank has big ambitions at Derby County. As for players ‘he knows which areas need addressing’. Also keen to bring young players. The mission, to get the club to the Premier League.

Let’s not go through all this again… comes up every year!…. The cost of equipping our railways to handle deep snow would be off the scale. In Canada the investment is worth it because they know they’ll get deep snow for often do we have it?
Ok, this is CRAZY! My wife, a former language teacher has been trying to get our baby Lilly to say ‘hello’. And, erm I think she’s done it! Is this the youngest a baby has learnt to speak - 2 months and 27 days?!

This just came up on my feed. I don’t know you, but this is heartbreaking. My deepest condolences and sympathy go to you. I don’t have the words to express how sorry I am to read this.
Just heard the very sad news about radio star Steve Wright. So many significant points of my life seemed to be marked by his shows, some directly, some purely coincidental. Just one of the most natural, warm and engaging broadcasters, he will be hugely missed. RIP.
#stevewright
We’ve had some terrific viewing figures lately but last night was extra special. A third of all viewers in the Midlands who watched tv at 6pm chose

@SameenaITV

Last night’s viewing figures just in, 34% of all TV viewers in the Midlands watched

Nice touch this.
@WBA
players will wear special shirts in honour of Cyrille Regis during Saturday’s home match with Southampton. More on this in
@ITVCentral
at 6 (in West mids).
Under that mask is a beaming smile having had my first jab. Weirdly I didn’t feel it all. I said to the nurse ‘have you done it?!’. I hope everyone else gets one soon too :-) now to head in to
@ITVCentral
with a spring in my step.
Let me tell you a story. My train home was cancelled. I went to buy a Mars bar. They had an offer. I bought four Mars bars. I ate four Mars bars. That’s the end of the story.
It’s our last full half hour programme of the year! We will have all the news and hopefully some Christmas cheer! See you at 6!

Tonight at 8pm on

Blimey. This just popped up on my feed. 20 years since I made my debut on
@SkySportsNews
I was so nervous that I tried to hide in an over sized suit. Or so it seems. Oh what it was to be young... I’ll be at my now usual home (of 15 years),
@ITVCentral
later, with all the latest.
It’s been a looonnggg time since I presented alongside ANYONE! Tonight I have the pleasure of sitting with

It seems everyone is updating their rankings. So here we go.. To be honest my top 6 are all absolute favourites. Almost level with each other. And 7-13 are all really my equal second place films…!
Ok
#Bond
world. Everyone seems to be redoing their rankings. So here you go… my up to date listings. Big mover is Die Another Day, up a few. Octopussy and Goldeneye also heading up… thanks to the Sorta of age.
A question for my
#bond
friends. Which do you think is the most child friendly Bond film. So least scary/threatening/sexy…? I think maybe ‘The Spy Loved Me’… Any others? And what is the minimum age do you think?
No better way to spend a Sunday than with brand new vinyl. And having read a series of fine reviews for ‘Re-Set’ I have to say it is truly impressive. Bluesy, with hints of Americana and a touch of Country. Well done
@officialShaky
- another impressive change of direction.
Heading to London to meet

More amazing viewing share. A third of all people watching tv in the Midlands watched us last night. Thank you all! Just going on air now, hope to see you soon!

One of those ‘pinch yourself’ moments. Great to welcome

@hannahbechITV
and I loved chatting to him. More on
@ITVCentral

From supermarket worker to Premier League footballer in just 6 months. I’ll have the remarkable story of Malcolm Christie on
@ITVCentral
in the East Midlands at 6. Plus (good) breaking news from Derby County!
Great to briefly catch up with a former co presenter and now politics star of itv’s Good Morning Britain! Can we have more than 10 minutes next time
@LouisaJamesITV
?!
@SpyHards
I would prefer a page explaining about the time the book was written, and how the references are unacceptable now, and the vey valid reasons why, but also explaining why fleming might have thought it ok to use them in the 50’s and 60’s.
36% of all viewers watching tv at 6 pm in the Midlands yesterday were watching
@ITVCentral
- we really appreciate having you with us. Hopefully
@JournoChar
and I will see you all again in just a few minutes!

To any younger Bond fans who’ve only seen the recent brooding Daniel Craig films. If you want a perfect entry point to the joy of some of the classic Bond films, you can’t go far wrong with this. The Spy who loved me starts at 8pm on

It was of course the lovely
