00:00 I've had to keep so many secrets this week, like they only told me that I was coming here
00:07 yesterday because I'm like the radio too busy body, like they know if they tell me they
00:10 might as well walk in the megaphone down at High Street, you know what I mean, so I've
00:13 had to keep that a secret. And then last night, just before I went to a birthday, Stronger
00:17 met them. We've given tickets away and you've got to look after them, so I literally was
00:21 so anxious in my hotel room and just getting away this morning was amazing, like you heard
00:25 the reaction from everybody here this morning, it's amazing that we've come into Moor Park
00:29 and I don't know if you saw our coverage in Leicester last year but we had Kylie Minogue
00:32 there, tears for fears. We are bringing some stellar music acts to Preston, over that road
00:38 where people jog, play football, walk their dogs, it is going to be the most amazing weekend.
00:44 Any hints you can give us about who might be playing?
00:46 Again, they tell me it's stellar music acts but they're not telling me anything because
00:50 they know what I'm like, I've just literally got the biggest guy. If they tell me, I'll
00:53 tell my other half, he'll tell someone at work and then it spreads like wildfire, so
00:57 I don't know anything. If you look at all the headliners we have at Radio 2 in the Park,
01:02 we always match it every year, so you know there are some absolute superstars coming
01:07 to Preston in September.
01:09 They didn't give you a day off, you're still doing the Traffic and Travel, how has it been
01:13 being live from deep down?
01:14 It's been so much fun, this is what radio's all about, coming down here and meeting our
01:18 listeners who are just absolutely incredible. We've had such a laugh this morning, like
01:22 you've seen when we've been off air, we've all been laughing and joking when the records
01:25 are playing. It's been a busy morning, but it's probably one of my favourite shows to
01:28 do in the year actually when we do the announcement because it's always so exciting. We always
01:32 have this little panic, like what if nobody turns up for the tickets? But you can see
01:36 this morning, people have turned up, people are excited. In September we're bringing the
01:40 whole Radio 2 family here, so I'm going to go back and tell everybody, it's going to
01:43 be amazing, and then Vern's going to be coming up, Scott, you name it, we're all going to
01:47 be here in September.
