Sara Cox has made a teary announcement following the passing of legendary DJ Steve Wright. Wright's career spanned 40 years which involved him presenting shows on both Radio 1 and 2.

Sara Cox admits she was 'a complete mess' after discovering close friend and colleague Steve Wright had passed away while she was presenting her Radio 2 show.

'I was a complete mess,' she told Radio Times. 'We were all in complete shock. I looked out into the production area and people were hugging and crying; it really winded us as a station.' Cox was speaking to the latest edition of Radio Times as she competes on the latest series of The Great Stand Up To Cancer Bake Off

'I've got to be honest with you, it feels to some extent like a family bereavement because we've lost one of our own,' she told host Gethin Jones. 'Everybody, the nation, all the listeners, they all genuinely feel like they've lost a family member or a good mate.'
