Mel Giedroyc, the hugely successful writer, comedian, actor and presenter tells Zoe about her debut novel, The Best Things. It tells the story of Sally Parker who is struggling to find the hero inside herself. All Sally wants to to is lie down after her husband Franks has lost his business, their home and their savings in one fell swoop. Mel has been entertaining the nation for nearly thirty years. She's well known for her work with her comedy partner Sue Perkins where they presented Light Lunch and The Great British Bake Off together. Mel has previously written two non-fiction books and has appeared in sitcoms and panel shows, on radio and on the West End stage. 

Tom Grennan performs live from the BBC's Maida Vale studios with very special guest Ella Henderson. Tom has music from his new album 'Evering Road' which is named after the East London address Tom shared with his then-girlfriend, it’s a hub of love, heartbreak and redemption. Tom’s breakthrough album 'Lighting Matches' cemented him as one of the UK’s most vital and exciting new artists, and one of the Top Ten best-selling debuts of 2018. A UK Top Five record, ‘Lighting Matches’ has amassed over a quarter of a billion streams, seen sold out shows at The Royal Albert Hall, Brixton Academy and won over thousands of fans at festivals including Reading And Leeds, Isle Of Wight, TRNSMT, Latitude and a host of other events. Ella Henderson also joins Tom to perform their brand new duet, Let's Go Home Together, which was written by Ella alongside James Arthur and 4 x GRAMMY-nominated production team, TMS.    

Along with Clare Runacres on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, she and the team have the best start to your morning. With celeb guests, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners, and more music that you can shake a glitterball at!
