Mike Read, who co-hosted a show called Read and Wright with the DJ on local radio before they moved to Radio 1, told BBC Breakfast on Wednesday that he was a “ringmaster” and “good at pulling people in”.
“He worked tirelessly, he was a radio man not just somebody who turned up, did the show, and went home. It was in his mind, always thinking of ideas”.
