Isn't she this year's "guest presenter" following in the footsteps of Paul Merton and Lee Mack? I hear she's been taking lessons from Steve Wright so will talking for 10 minutes then playing some oldies, and her own jingle ("God Save The Queen") over and over. |

Good to see Ryan Tubridy back and I like Craig Charles but I can't say there's much else of interest. Remember the days when we used to have radio presenters? Now we just have a load of celebs who use R2 as a bit of casual work on the side.
