I was unfortunate enough to catch the post 5pm news prattle this evening. The ginge said He had some news for the great british Public.

Please tell me he's leaving.

( probably he won't)

His news was that he's pregnant, well not him, but his dearly beloved. So soon there will be two of them Shocked

I'm not sure this has been done before, as seems to be the case with jumping out of a plane..... but rest assured, the intimate details of both events threaten to overwhelm our drivetime hours for some time to come. Oh joy! Crying or Very sad

Lets hope Richard Allinson gets the gig to cover for Evans when he goes on paternity leave.

I know most of you will disagree but I would give Dermot O'Leary a go at Drivetime for an extended period.

Nice to see another Dermot O'Leary fan on here-I thought I was the only one.

I liked Dermot when he sat in for Ken Bruce a while ago-I thought he was excellent in the slot.

I like Dermot's show on a Saturday afternoon.

I tried his show today whilst in the car, could only stand 15 minutes until the final straw when he talked about ' todays text topic', I switched off.

A great pity as I enjoy live sessions etc and this show could be great.

Not sure he would get paternity leave if he is self-employed?

Ken Bruce and Simon Mayo (for example) have had a couple of weeks off when their kids have been born.
