The radio presenter and author on missing the Ramones, José Mourinho, and his embarrassing birthday moment with Naomi Campbell

Born in London, Simon Mayo, 61, joined BBC Radio 1 in 1986 and presented Radio 2 Drivetime from 2010 to 2018. He is now a host on Scala Radio. He is the author of the Itch children’s series, and publishes his debut thriller, Knife Edge, on 20 August. He is married with two sons and a daughter, and lives in London.I am a hardcore Spurs fan. My main fear is that José Mourinho is going to stay as manager – and that’s going to be bad for my team and bad for my health.

That sounds difficult for a man. Try being a woman and hearing that for generations difficult

It's The Outsiders You Want?

I am and proud. Who wants to look fake

I get it. But what about radio? Or better cable via Morse Code. Queen Victoria got away with that in the first trans Atlantic message between the UK and POTUS. I’m sure she was amused, and maybe you would be too. You don’t know until you try.

Mortgage_Stu really sad that he felt he had to leave Radio2. He was great on drive time. Bring him back please, BBC.

Sorry mate...You is ugly SimonMayo. bbc is qwhite bout r8 even though I totally despise that corporation BBCNews BBCWorld

He was right, mate

Look alright to me Si. Have yer, have yer, tried POF app?

I loved Drivetime and still miss it a lot. Will never stop thinking R2 made a big ole booboo there. I’m happy to continue to support Simon elsewhere, and be a friend the other side of the radio speaker.

You are beutyfull!Have you seen Hilary Clinton on TV people switch the TV OFF!!!

Good job your mum got you a spot on the radio & you've coined it in royally ever since, eh?

Perfectly nice face Not convinced about the Nazi interrogator bins though

Face for radio, defo.

Not surprising to hear this. A lot of idiots in the TV industry value looks over talent and intelligence.

'Tis true - most radio people are . . . no need to make a thing of it.

Fight uglyism now....

BBC in priveliged position of being able to do what they like! and still get their money! Only governments r usually in that luxurious position! BBC can preach whitehate & manhate daily but still get their money! Get rid of all white male presenters & still they get their money

Soooo not true!!!!

He had a point

I’m in front of him for a new spine! 🤗 Wish I listened to my Grandfather all those years ago concerning slouching. 🤪

Yet you were on it!!!

Your face is fine. Your hair has a great deal of self-determination.

Actually you`re way too famous, too rich, too in your face for my taste. Not your looks which are cute but your lack of intelligence (compared to others) You and your kind, the facile presenters, are there for a reason..Yes men..no doubt about it!Stil could be worse..or better!

He had a point though right?

Mainly, how did those glasses cost a thousand quid?

Andrew Neil does okay for himself

What?! Lies! They should have gone to Barnard castle!

He paid a grand for his glasses 🤓 got ripped off big time

Yet they allow Farage on?

Once you do in depth research you’ll realise the BBC are filled with paedophiles and paedophile enablers. They’re right leaning and only care about income. Screw the over 75s, all they want is their money .... during the worst pandemic we’ve had in years.

He wasn't lying

The perfect face for radio then 🤣🤣🤣🤣
