Sara Cox takes over
Sara Cox sat in for Scott and opened with an elaborate explanation of how rearranging the letters of his name could somehow lead to hers.
She promised the normal Breakfast Show structure, including the Easiest Quiz, Birthday Game and listener messages, while adding her own features and bank-holiday tone.
Louise
Louise Redknapp joined Sara to discuss music, performance and her career from Eternal to solo success.
She reflected on entering the industry as part of a group and the different confidence required when beginning a solo career.
The conversation covered songs listeners still connected with the 1990s, as well as the styling and choreography Louise remembered from the period.
Sara asked about returning to live performance and the way audiences had followed Louise across music, theatre and television.
Louise discussed family, work and the balance between revisiting familiar songs and continuing to make new choices.
The relaxed bank-holiday interview allowed both women to trade memories of the same era of British pop and broadcasting.
Regular features
The Easiest Quiz and Birthday Game continued, alongside Sara’s Making a Meal of It and Totally Devoted material.
