Steve Wright was completely devoted to his BBC Radio 2 show - which makes the shock axing even more painful.
The 67-year-old DJ has had his weekday afternoon slot axed after 23 years in the hotseat in one of the biggest schedule shake ups the station has ever seen.
"Sometimes people don't want you," confessed Steve as he walked out of the BBC studios on Friday, but he confirmed he will still be working on Radio 2 in some capacity.
