So today saw the start of a new Era for Absolute Radio with the marvellous Jo Russell (another Russell) helming Christian O’Connell’s Breakfast Show while he jets off for yet another pina colada with one of those little umbrellas in the top.

It’s Jo’s first show for Absolute Radio so naturally there will be some nerves. Jo joins us from radio partnership steeped in greatness and showered with praise. After 10 years of working in an award winning double header we thought long and hard about having someone to sit in with her and make her feel at home.

It would have to be someone special.

1 – Someone with charisma.

2 – Someone with charm.

3 – Someone oozing pure sex appeal.

We searched high and low for that elusive talent but to no avail.

But hark what light from yonder window breaks?

Little did we realise that the answer would be staring us in the face, well, maybe a couple of inches below, wearing a little cap and beaming away.

That’s right ladies and gentlemen – It’s with immense pleasure that we announce that Ben Jones will be co-hosting the Breakfast Show on Absolute Radio all this week

In the words of Meatloaf – Two out of three ain’t bad

Sadly we couldn’t do anything about Brian.

He will still be on the show.

It’s a legal requirement.
