Our London Marathon Heroes

Emma Willis

Available for 25 days

There's no better feeling than a Saturday afternoon, right? Whether you’re out and about, or preparing for a glorious night in, Emma Willis is standing by to speak to you and hit shuffle on all your favourite music. On MisMatch of the Day, Emma’s weekly dating slot with a twist, she chats to listeners about their worst first dates. Today, Jo from Cheshire shares a dinner date disaster involving a very bold appetite and a waiter who clearly sensed something wasn’t quite right. Got a worst first date story you’d like to share? Email Emma@bbc.co.uk now. Across the show, we’re also celebrating some incredible London Marathon heroes, as runners prepare to take on the challenge for causes close to their hearts. After 2pm, it's the Saturday Matinee and you are the stars of the show! As theatres across the UK welcome their afternoon audiences, Emma checks in with all the performers out there. Today, Emma is joined by Jordan Adams from the The FTD Foundation, who’s stepping into the spotlight ahead of the London Marathon to explain why he’s running with a 25 kilo fridge on his back. Ask your smart speaker to 'Play Radio 2'. Produced by Biscuit Jim Ltd for BBC Radio 2.
