Hits Radio launches new Breakfast Show with Will Best

Hits Radio has launched its brand new Hits Radio Breakfast Show, with new presenter Will Best.

The show has a brand new sound from this morning, with fresh jingles, new features, and, a new home.

The programme now broadcasts from London, having come from Manchester for the last seven years. The move means the show, going fully national this month, will bring listeners even bigger guests live in the mornings.

Will, who haas just finished hosting the current series of Celebrity Big Brother says: “I’ve been wanting to join the 5 am club for a while – all the influencers are doing it aren’t they! I think I’ll cope alright with the early mornings… I’ll just go to bed.

“Honestly, I’m unbelievably excited and the thought that I get to hang out with Fleur and James every day just fills my heart with joy!”

Paul Gerrard, Content Director for Hits Radio said: “Will has been an epic addition to our Hits Radio family and we know from his weekend show that listeners are big fans too.

“Adding Will into the already infectious mix that is Hits Radio Breakfast means we’re all set to take our brilliant show to the next level.”

Co-hosts Fleur East and James Barr made sure his first show started with a familiar face as the trio were joined by Will’s Celebrity Big Brother team-mate AJ Odudu to get all the goss from Friday’s big final.

Having already confessed that he missed all the JoJo Siwa split drama Will asked AJ if she’d seen anything… ‘I saw just a conversation,’ AJ admitted. ‘They were just having a talk outside… I didn’t realise that that was THE conversation.’

But it wasn’t just JoJo Siwa that AJ was there to spill the beans on she also confessed that Mickey Rourke’s exit was a shame joking ‘I couldn’t believe he weren’t at the reunion but it’s all good. He was great telly and it was a shame he left the way he did and we didn’t get our eviction interview…’

Will’s new work wife at Hits Radio Breakfast, Fleur East, asked AJ what Will was like to work with and it was a – mostly – glowing review… ‘I’ve never had a brew from him,’ AJ admitted, ‘but he’s fun, kind, generous and just amazing. He’ll also take his top off in seconds… in fact it’s like wow that he’s actually got a t-shirt on now!’

It’s been a big few days for Will with the Celebrity Big Brother final and then his new gig at Hits Radio but as he told Fleur in his first link of the day ‘I’m feeling good, I’m feeling excited… I don’t know if I’m going to feel this upbeat at 6am every day for the of my life but today I am loving life!’

And Will made sure that all of his work colleagues started their day the right way by serving breakfast alongside a Bloody Mary from his very own drinks range to Greatest Hits Radio’s Ken Bruce, Gok Wan and Harriet Scott from Magic Radio Breakfast and KISS Breakfast hosts Jordan and Perri…

Will, James and Fleur will also launch a new Sunday show this weekend.
