To be honest Janey Lee Grace has always annoyed me, I think she’s a bit of a twat….
Love Steve though, and there has never been (and never will be) any better radio feature than ‘Ask Elvis’. FACT!!! 

Annoyed? She's a bit part on a radio show.

His drivetime show in the week is very good - ‘Mexican Handbags’ is hilarious IMO. Shame about the adverts though…

Sara Cox is very good IMO, funny, spontaneous and professional.

 

She has one very annoying habit of rarely introducing a song or telling you what she's just played.

 

OK if you're a music nerd but for those of us who only listen occasionally such as when driving, it would be nice to know what you've just listened to.

Otherwise I agree. She's good company. Unfortunately, R2 is turning into a retirement home for the BBC's favourite daytime TV luvvies who are not DJs or radio presenters and have no ability whatsoever. 

I find Lisa Tarbuck, Claudia Winkleman, Paul O'Grady and Micheal Ball painful to listen to.

Agreed,this habit of giving radio slots to TV sorts is crap.

Rylan, POG and Michael Ball.

All gay as a feather duster.

I think Liza Tarbuck is really funny, and she plays some great music (that I’ve largely never heard before).

From Michael Ball's Wiki entry:

'Ball lives with the former presenter of Ready Steady Go!, Cathy McGowan. They met around 1989 when she was an entertainment reporter for a BBC London magazine show and interviewed him during rehearsals for Aspects of Love. They have lived together since 1992. On 23 December 2000, she saved his life by dragging him out of a house fire.^[1][15] Cathy was previously married to actor Hywel Bennett, the marriage producing a daughter Emma. Emma's son is the godson of Michael Ball'.

Philip Schofield has a wife and daughters...🤠

 

Mrs Micheal Ball should maybe keep an eye on what her husband gets up to in the broom cupboard. 

It would explain an awful lot about his taste in music.

Yes I knew that.
