Giovanna Fletcher, the Queen of the I'm A Celebrity Castle, calls in to chat to Zoe.

Giovanna Fletcher, the Queen of the I'm A Celebrity castle, chats to Zoe. Plus actress Sunetra Sarker tells Zo about the new series of Channel 4 drama Ackley Bridge.

Giovanna Fletcher, the author, presenter and Queen of the I'm A Celebrity castle chats to Zoe. Giovanna hosts the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast, presents The Baby Club on CBeebies and has written multiple best-selling books. Giovanna's latest novel, Walking On Sunshine, is her twelfth book to be published and follows three friends Vicky, Zaza and Mike who have each reached a defining (and longed for) point in their lives. However, rather than feeling happy and fulfilled they individually find themselves asking ‘is this it?’ Giovanna was crowned the Queen of the I'm A Celebrity castle earlier this year when the series was broadcast from Wales for the first time. 

Sunetra Sarker tells Zoe about the return of Ackley Bridge on Channel 4. Sunetra is also an associate producer on this fourth series and has been in the show since its pilot in 2017. Ackley Bridge has been the biggest show of the year so far for teenagers (16-19-year olds) on All 4 and the biggest library title on All 4 for 16-24s. Inspired by real-life Lancashire and Yorkshire schools established to integrate the white and Asian communities in some of the most divided towns in the country, Ackley Bridge has won praise across its previous three series for tackling real-life situations and issues in an irreverent, insightful way, with humour and punchy, big hearted stories.

Jay Flynn returns with another round of his Virtual Radio Quiz where he tests the team on their general knowledge to see who comes out on top.

Along with Adam Porter 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, quizzes, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners, and more music that you can shake a glitterball at!

There's also a daily Pause For Thought and listeners on the line, as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
