Steve Wright has spoken out about the drama surrounding the cancellation of his BBC Radio 2 show. The legendary DJ had returned to the airwaves on Sunday following the shock announcement his show is ending after 23 years.
On Friday, listeners were up in arms at the news he was being replaced by long-serving Radio 1 presenter Scott Mills, who confirmed he would be stepping down from his own job after 24 years. It comes as a huge shake-up takes place at Radio 2. Steve returned for his Sunday Love Songs show on Sunday, where he addressed the reaction.
"Before we start the show proper, if I may, I'd just like to say thank you ever so much for all the messages that have come in, over the weekend after I announced on Friday on the afternoon that we are leaving the afternoon show," Steve began.
