It’s been a difficult week, but the flood of tributes, and messages, has been a huge comfort. Thank you. Also comforting is the prospect of Liza Tarbuck presenting a special Sunday Love Songs this week. She and Steve were like kindred spirits, so it’s fitting #SteveWright

Got these beautiful flowers from @elaine_paige 🌼 Every Weds I go into Wogan House to work - and I look forward to it all week long 🌼 Today though I’d have been as happy not to 🌼 She probably didn’t realise what a difference they’d make to my working from home set-up 😌

The incredible rendition of ‘I Dreamed A Dream’ by @elaine_paige ❤️ Followed by ‘Do You Hear The People Sing’ 🇺🇦 Then the spine-tingling ‘Gethsemane’ by @stevebalsamo 💙 And ‘Say My Name’ by Alex Brightman-Beetlejuice is my favourite 15 mins of radio I’ve ever produced 😊 #EPOS

This weekend marks 26 years at the BBC for me 🧡 From straight out of college to today, to sit there with legends and have them appreciate the work you do, and allow you into their lives, is a thrill and an honour 🧡 @BBCRadio2

The toast of the West End with the First Lady of the West End… Inundated with messages about today’s show and the @hellodollyLDN segment 🥰 @elaine_paige ’s listeners are so enthusiastic, so loyal and so appreciative, and it means the world 🥰

Went into work today 🧡 Behind the Wogan House doors, Ken is still Popmastering, Jeremy’s still loving his detachable sunglasses, Sara’s still Half-Wowering, & Steve’s still singin’ along, jockin’ & wipin’ down... It’s unwaveringly ‘business as usual’ @BBCRadio2 😊

Up 3 to Number 1… STEVE WRIGHT to host Pick of the Pops for @BBCRadio2 from October 🎯 He counts down charts like they’re the most exciting thing he’s ever clapped eyes on 🤩 It’s perfect for his serious jockin’ lovin’ heart 💜 Right behind you old fruit 👊🏽🥸 xx

Fantastic to hear @theJeremyVine interview his incredible Editor, Phil Jones, who is leaving the BBC after 30 years. The @BBCRadio2 backroom staff work SO HARD, especially JV’s team, and are pivotal to the station’s success. We are across EVERYTHING… and we LOVE Radio 2!

What would most of us have given to have enjoyed a pot of tea with MRS POTTS, made by MRS POTTS… this Sunday on @BBCRadio2 , @BBCSounds & @broadwaycom , there’s an extensive tribute to @_AngelaLansbury … in the words of @elaine_paige who had that honour 🫖❤️

A briefing on the #EPOS queendom… @elaine_paige is now on a short standard leave of absence from @BBCRadio2 ❤️ Sending our host for the next 3 weeks @SamanthaBarks love & luck, because she’s lovely. And because musical theatre on the radio must always be supported 👊🏽
