Communications Manager in the Water Industry, former Radio & Content producer at the BBC. Using years of talent management skills on husband and two children!
Chris Moyles pays tribute to his friend and mentor, the late, great Steve Wright: “Cheers, Steve, for everything, we lost you too soon. I can't quite comprehend I'll never talk to him again."
I am loving the love for Steve Wright on here today. 😊 I spent five years (with time off for good behaviour) producing the Big Show and Sunday Love Songs and I loved it. He’s an absolute pro and a radio legend and hearing that intro every day at 2.03pm never got old.
I’m so shocked. Producing Steve at Radio 2 was the absolute highlight of my career. Something 11 yr old me (who would sneak my Walkman headphones up under my school jumper & my long hair to listen to him on breakfast) could never have imagined. I’ll miss you friendly. Special K x
I didn’t make many mistakes working with Steve Wright because I made sure I brought my A game every day as I was so chuffed to be working with him. But one that still haunts me, was him asking me to drag 500 Miles into the running order with a minute to go. (1/3)
Thanks for the

life producing the Big Show so a sad day to see Steve leave 6B this afternoon for the final time. Sent him a message this morning and got a classic brief ‘fanx K’ in return. Good luck to the team this afternoon.

Funnily enough I won’t actually reply to you if you tweet me anything hostile or rude 😂 I only block and never bite darlings. So do conserve your energy (there is a cost of living crisis after all).

The amount of people on here who seem to operate in a world where everyone just tells people what they really think of them at every opportunity is quite something. I’m going to guess they’ve not held down an office job for long 😂

@bbcradio2
. Thanks Jo! Steve was always coming in & telling me to dig out songs he’d heard on CapitalXtra. He was incredible at listening around the dial and honing in on amazing music to bring to R2 listeners.
He could have thrown me under the bus given we’d just played a Comic Relief single three years after it had come out, apropos of nothing 😂. But instead, he just back announced it like he’d meant to play it all along and didn’t say another word. (3/3)

Track the Treasure game. Now to do some research into Kalocsa Hungarian hand painted porcelain!
These songs on
@bbcradio2
are properly perfect for Steve. All the songs that he always asked to be added into the playlist. You had to be quick with a pen as he’d fire you a list of 20 odd extra tunes each day. (1/1)
Looking back through my Facebook memories. This one is a perfect example of the deliciously mad stuff Steve would walk into Studio 6B and ask for of a morning or request during a show.

He duly started playing it. I still remember the look we gave each other when, rather than The Proclaimers, Peter Kay and Matt Lucas started singing to 8 million people. (2/3)

Thank you all so so much! We cannot believe it. The boys will be so bloody excited that he’s one step closer to the Celebrity Cyclone!!!

So proud (and horrified) that Nicola Bulley’s family have called out the absolutely horrible and intrusive treatment they’ve had from Sky News, ITV and the TikTok armchair detectives in their heartbreaking press statement.
So sad that both George and Babatunde have gone… but on the plus side, as the voting options were in alphabetical order, it’s now even easier to vote for
@ChrisMoyles
😂 Come on

- we can get him to the Celebrity Cyclone!
#ImACeleb
Today is my 12th anniversary of starting at the BBC, and what better way to celebrate, than to leave! In two weeks time I’m officially hanging up the headphones, curtailing my crazy commute, for a job 15 minutes walk from my house! Three more hours a day with my brilliant boys.
The Ukrainian woman we’re sponsoring emailed me at 3.30am to let me know she and her children were on a train from Odessa marked evacuation. I promptly burst into tears.
A question for

I’m wrung out today! But we go again tonight! Thanks so much for the votes for Chris. The boys were so bloody excited this morning - here’s Oscar punching the air during the ‘Chris, it’s not you’ moment (Kit refused to be pictured 😂).
Another day and another request for votes with another behind the scenes pic of
