In an emotional Instagram post, the show host shared: "Got some lovely news today…
Kylie Jenner goes braless in mesh catsuit for new snaps on New Year's Eve"I started a new breakfast show on Classic FM in January and, despite a huge amount of schedule change, the switch to DAB+ (which I keep getting told is really significant) and loads of other stuff… today we found out we have OVER 2 MILLION LISTENERS!!!
"Now I know the graphic I made for the photo looks monumentally naff but… THANK YOU… my mind is slightly blown!
"Thanks to brilliant producer @helenajerreat1993, @ssssiena who looks after all our social media stuff and the rest of the top team.
"Most importantly, THANK YOU for listening. The music will always be king at Classic FM but it’s wonderful that you want to be part of the show and your kind messages and enjoyment from the start have been amazing."
Fans flocked to the comments to support him, with one person exclaiming: "Well done! I love listening and you really help calm my frantic mornings!"
Another chimed in: "Congratulations. You read out my ‘last night later’ yesterday (the potting shed is brilliant, btw) and it’s that interaction and engagement that makes us feel involved. Thank you."
A third joked: "Fantastic listening to your show every morning whilst out walking the Hertfordshire countryside. Puts a spring in my step…. Especially when the can can is being played!"
