He hosted a breakfast show on Xfm Manchester until May 15, 2008. In June 2007, he took over from Dave Spikey as a team captain on 8 out of 10 Cats. he also did his own show which aired every Monday to Friday and was called 'Tonightly' during the month of August, and is rumoured to be back in early 2009.
