"It's Like Losing A Friend" - Radio DJ Neil Fox Gives Tribute To Steve Wright Who Died At 69

Steve Wright has been remembered as a broadcaster who was “born to be in a studio” and whose “heart soared when he was on the air”.
The radio DJ, who has died at the age of 69, was a fixture on BBC Radio 1 and then Radio 2 for more than four decades, attracting millions of listeners.
Nicky Campbell, who was his colleague for many years, told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “It’s where he belonged. He was absolutely born to be in a studio, it’s where he thrived. It was his natural habitat.
“His heart soared when he was on the air and that was contagious. Our hearts soared when we listened.”
He added: “I liked him so much. He was such good company. He was so, so funny. And he had a waspish wit and he was a delicious gossip.
“He used to gossip about this place all the time. He loved the BBC but he was so exasperated with it sometimes, so frustrated with it sometimes, so funny about it. Any time spent with Steve was pure gold.”
Jeremy Kyle and Rosie Wright are joined by radio DJ Neil Fox, who pays tribute to Steve Wright as "one of the most wonderful, warm people you will ever meet".
