OJ Borg sits in

OJ Borg presented the bank-holiday Breakfast Show and kept the regular features in place while adding a looser holiday atmosphere.

Listeners sent messages from journeys, family days and workplaces that had remained open.

Shayne Ward

Shayne Ward joined OJ to discuss music, acting and the career that followed his X Factor victory.

He reflected on the speed of his breakthrough and the experience of becoming a number-one artist almost immediately.

The conversation covered pop records, touring and the change involved in moving into acting.

Shayne discussed Coronation Street, learning the rhythm of a continuing drama and the public response to a character seen several nights each week.

OJ asked about returning to music and how Shayne now balanced the different parts of his career.

The interview also revisited the emotional weight of songs associated with his earliest success.

Regular features

The Easiest Quiz and Birthday Game continued under OJ.
