Richie is in Sharleen Spiteri's garden for the Big Bee Challenge and Tom Odell plays live.

Sharleen Spiteri lets Richie Anderson into her garden in Wales for Radio 2's Big Bee Challenge plus Tom Odell performs live from the BBC's Maida Vale studios.

Richie Anderson is out on the road for the Big Bee Challenge and is dropping in to see some of our favourite celebrities. It's all part of Radio 2's Big Bee Challenge, where we can all do something to help the dwindling bee population. Richie shows that no matter the size of your garden, balcony or window box, you can make a difference to help the bees and have some fun along the way.

Today Texas lead singer, Sharleen Spiteri, has let him into her garden in North East Wales to look at all the ways she can help the bees.

They're joined by the outreach officer from the Bumblebee Conservation Trust in Wales, Clare Flynn, who takes Sharleen around her garden to build a "bee breakfast."

Brit and Ivor Novello award winning songwriter, plus platinum-selling, chart-topping artist Tom Odell performs live from the BBC's Maida Vale studios. After a dark period of mental health stalked most of his 2018 and 2019, Tom wrote his way through it, eventually letting down his guard and pouring his feelings into new music that forms his fourth album, 'monsters'. He has won Brit Awards, Ivor Novellos and had three top five albums in the UK, he’s also had success worldwide with platinum certifications across the globe and sold 13 million singles, 2.5 million albums and has an impressive 2.6 billion streams to his name!! Tom has a large UK Headline Tour for 2022 and is performing at the sold out Jazz Café later this summer.

Along with Clare Runacres on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, Zoe 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!

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