Overview
- On Wednesday, Kay told listeners he cycled to work in heavy rain and joked it would be a "sackable offense" to sit in his underwear while his soaked jeans dried, adding "I can't do that anymore."
- He said he felt freezing and fed up during the damp UK forecast, before remembering he had gym shorts in the studio to change into while his trousers dried.
- Earlier in the week, Kay recounted that veteran DJ Tony Blackburn told him he "didn't vote" for him during Kay's 2020 I'm A Celebrity run, when Kay finished third behind Jordan North and Giovanna Fletcher.
- Kay praised Blackburn as "one of the greats" as coverage noted Blackburn's pioneering career from 1960s pirate radio to being the first voice on Radio 1 in 1967, with an appearance scheduled with Scott Mills on January 21.
- Kay also shared a B&Q encounter where a shopper greeted him like a regular, reflecting Radio 2's broad audience, and the reports revisited his path from cover presenter to landing the mid‑morning slot in 2023.
