This is Steve Allen's A Little Bit Extra, leading Britain's conversation. You're listening to our podcast of Steve Allen.

Morning everybody. Welcome along to your free podcast for today. Bruno Tanioli could return to the judging panel, but because of the COVID travel restriction, to be honest with you, we don't actually miss him. We really don't miss him.

I thought we would go mad for, oh, you're just so sexy. Just sit down, grow up dear. Stop being a silly
