Speaking about the series, Jeremy said: "I’ve absolutely loved going back to my radio roots these last seven months. It’s been a lot of hard work but a lot of fun too - interviewing everyone from Jacob Rees-Mogg to Eddie The Eagle Edwards but also speaking to listeners every day about the things that mean most to them. The radio show has done really well but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to host my own TV show too!"
