Romesh on the return of The Ranganation and Ugo and Oti have all the gossip from Strictly.

Romesh Ranganathan chats to Zoe about the return of The Ranganation and Ugo Monye and his partner Oti Mabuse have all the gossip from Strictly dancefloor.

Romesh Ranganathan chats to Zoe about the fourth series of The Ranganation on BBC Two. On the show, Romesh chats through the lighter end of the news spectrum with celebrity guests and his hand-picked focus group, the Ranganation – 20 loveable, outspoken characters who represent a cross-section of modern Britain. Together they take a humorous look at the week’s biggest talking points, from front page news to trending topics, helping the nation navigate their way through these tricky times.

Celebrity dancer Ugo Monye and his partner Oti Mabuse look back on another weekend of Strictly dancefloor action and reflect on the first couple to leave after Sunday's vote-off. Ugo Monye is a sports broadcaster and former rugby player. As part of the Harlequins squad he made 241 appearances, won a Premiership Title and is still the club's third highest try scorer ever. 

Plus, to celebrate Black History Month, Zoe speaks to Professor Uzo Iwobi to tell us more about an amazing woman called Betty Campbell, who was the first black teacher in Wales. Betty passed away in 2017 but last week she had a beautiful statue unveiled in Cardiff.

And Zoe plays three disco classics from her personal collection in the Disco Ball at 8.30!

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, quizzes, headlines, tunes chosen by listeners and more music than you can shake a glitterball at!

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

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
