Radio didn't get sacked which is all good here on Monday morning which is always a positive I put that down to Jack Dowling's guide of do's and don'ts which I listen to on my headphones while still was at the Christmas do we stopped me from getting sacked and the fact that there were no bosses there probably helped that as well if there had been one it would have been 5050 let's just put it that we had a great time actually I really enjoyed it going out as a team I did some T.V. Yesterday which was good any excuse to wear makeup and he would have seen me you're in a foreign hotel bedroom and this morning I was awoken by a cat's. Wish let's just say relieved itself on the clothes I was going to wear today that's why I look such a mess we got here in Cali coming in to talk about strictly at the weekend so there will be a spoiler alert for you very soon so I apologize to Karen now for the state of my hoodie I mean I have I haven't worn the one that the Caps did the business you know what I mean but I wasn't prepared to web based today clothes the night before you know what I'm saying anyway coming up here on the program this morning talking of cats I went to meet a woman who used to have a cat she read Home day and then got a horrible call from the VAX to say that we found your cat it's been wandering the streets for a year there is a really nice ending to that story that's coming up I went to meet Charlotte and they sweet will talk about a local goal for who's doing really well Emily Brennan who has just won a major tournament she is tipped to be one of the next big names in British golf and she's from Stoke on Trent we'll have a chat with her and the gnomes you remember those gnomes that were baring their bottoms in Cheshire. Well that back on the smart speaker and freeview channels 7 to 6 we received Radio Stoke. Morning hope you well 7 minutes past 7 on a Monday morning this is Liz Alice and John breakfast. Yeah that is your spoiler award. This morning so we are going to talk about some of the winners and losers from the weekend there are spoilers ahead if finals of Strictly of course on Saturday The Apprentice and even Sports Personality of the year if you've got that one on record you're going to watch on catch up on B.B.C. I Player So if you've still got them then just be warned but what a weekend it was for T.V. On Saturday actually Friday Stacy and Joe went head to head for the glitterball trophy and this is what happened and I cannot reveal the Strictly Come Dancing champions. Stay safe. And I think oftentimes before you feel silly fellow not been for media like having what she threw on you so desire for I see signs of that. Where you're happy with the winner you can get in touch with the show this morning of course any time 080-121-8080 or you can drop me a text 81 trouble 3 Start your message with the word play Stacy one it was happy for a I mean it was brilliant watching Ashley in fact the whole series they were ice weren't they but I think the fact that they'd had some training probably meant that they were never going to get the public vote I was kind of hoping for Joe I thought he was good fun but I was happy that it was Stacy who won that was Saturday night will will pick the bones out of that in just a few moments we had another big final though on Sunday I watched this last night The Apprentice Camilla Milt company up against Shon swimwear baseness and this is who Lord Sugar Chos Strong you have a great attitude and a talent for design you're going to be in my business. So sorry I'll see you soon let me get out this is going to just absolutely. Show that I love what I do love fashion is all about business and to put it together is just going to be ridiculous like the possibilities are less thought she was brilliant I was rooting for Xan and Amber was rooting for the other one she was rooting for Camilla but I thought the swimmer idea was good and I was like I wouldn't buy a bathing costume for 50 quid Anyway after 8 this morning we hope to speak coyotes remember him he lives in Crow who was on the show he was brilliant on last night's final by the way we'll have a chat with him this morning a little bit later on and we also had the Sports Personality of the Year award which went to Welsh cyclist Gehring Thomas who won the Tour de France this year 2nd was Lewis Hamilton and 3rd was Harry can see we're up to date with your winners and losers from this weekend but let's get back to that big Strictly final on Saturday and I'm delighted to say dance teacher Kiran Kelly is with me this morning . A coach make complaint certain way because normally when a come on and Perry's only plays the strictly music for me. We don't call you stupid because we just do verbal either. Dead or there you go to find that they're out there OK I know what I'm the type. But what they're calling them whatever link ups absolutely amazing it was just absolutely amazing the whole show again from from start to finish a roller coaster of emotion but you know for probably the last half hour of the show it was just pure emotion all the way through and it was you know the culmination of you know 12 weeks of hard work toil and labor and again just that last half hour was just it was just television at its very very best it was super. Just talked me through what you think the public were thinking going into this final because there were 2 stand down amazing dances in this year Strictly which isn't always the case in Ashley and in fact I mean they were just fantastic Yes Yeah why do you think they didn't get more votes but that's the problem they were fantastic from almost week one and again you know people want to see a journey people want to see progression the public loves nothing more than the underdog the underdog is like that's that's the holy grail of you know reality T.V. If you're the underdog and you have this journey where you go from being the underdog to being top dog well then you know that that's what the public want to see they want to they want to share that emotion within the want to be part of that and for poor Ashley and and faith both of come from professional backgrounds admittedly not Borel innocent party and also women which is which is a big big thing but you know the public perception there is well you can already do this so why are you here what are you doing this and then when you look at Joe our Stacey obviously the 1st week there were there were competent you know showed signs of you know promise but you know by the end of the 13 weeks like oh my God Joe and Stacey were every bit the dancer that they are that the others who are realistically and any 4 of them could have won but obviously it's the public vote that counts and the public says we love Stacey So you think in the end Joe and the winner Stacey were as good as Ashley and frank in different ways in different ways you know this shows the ability to work hard to shoulder ability to improve if you look at the improvement scale that Joan Stacey hot if you put on a graph and you put down like you know Lucy Jo and Stacey's improvement it would be like off the chart Yeah but if you put down phase and Ashley's proven it would be improved but not to the extent that Joe and Stacy house you own your own. Dance School when strictly is on the air and when it finishes do you see a spike in people wanting to come and learn yes definitely during strictly see a huge peak in interest and lots more inquiries there's a lot more. Traffic on our on our social media sites so everything is a lot more buoyant but most Christmas Come January it is literally just somebody dislikes me lets a ball off and says Ellis gotta learn to dance so yeah and we do we get incredibly busy as all dance schools in the city to you know for some reason we get particularly busy after Christmas and it's you know it's fantastic you know so and what a great activity to do a lot of people don't like the gym to find gym into the gym in an intimidating place but down schools aren't It's it's nice it's glitzy it's slumberous and it is complete and utter escapism when you come to a dance class you're talking about wholesale escapism you know there's all the great music and you're meeting people you're talking to people you're actually physically holding hands with people you've never met before there's a that's very addictive in a good and healthy way does romance blossom at your dance school yes romance definitely blossoms you know we've had a couple of people. Meet and get married at the studio as well so you know that's that's always quite nice but yeah definitely there's always that little There's always that little bit of romance a little bit of drama hanging in the air so yeah because that could be could it does happen because romance has blossomed again on the show according to this morning's newspaper did read that yes yes for poorer Jo and Diana for Joe and Diane Yeah you a picture together in an embrace Joe saying I might not have one strictly but I've won something even more special and she is gorgeous I mean in all it's a good idea to go on the show just because she's amazing isn't she lovely as adults and as you and apparently actually in Giovanni as well really has this morning. Share. An intimate kiss at the wrap party well as usual I could be just like what's his name what's the comedian dude Sean show you just kisses and I think.

A group of M.P.'s are calling for a hold to the rollout of smart most ways like the conversion that's currently happening on the M 6 in Cheshire it's over safety concerns that the new 4 lane smart motorways without the traditional hard shoulders could be putting lives at risk highways England says the scheme is safe and directors at companies that make unsolicited phone calls could now be fined up to half a 1000000 pounds new rules mean boss who's can be held directly responsible for. Today's big stories from still examining crane D.D.C. Radio Stoke sports. To get to a local side soon 1st Thomas has been crowned the B.B.C. Sports Personality of the year the Welshman beat Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton Cup golden but when Harry Kane Thomas is only the 3rd Briton to have won the Tour de France and becomes the 5th cyclist to win the B.B.C. Award obviously the story of you know going in there and the roomie was obviously been so successful he was the leader and I guess coming through all the little things happened along the way and I guess that sort of captured the imagination of some people at the end the dollar gas in Britain on the on the. Special Stoke City coach Callum Davidson says the team need to do more at both ends of the pitch if they're to win more games following the result against Aston Villa at the weekend the Potters have now drawn 6 of their last 9 games in the Championship but Dickerson says that's not such a negative statistic would you want to win more games and lose more games the hard ones I think are rather draw and start on those draws into wins it was just keep that momentum going I think you're very I think we need to stop people on what clinical a lot more composed the final front and then when we defend we need to see the game at all and that's a hill which were 21 up or one the UP need to fill I wish Martin and see the game and not concede which Liverpool are back on top of the Premier League it follows a 31 win over Manchester United Port Vale manager Neil Aspinall says he's not surprised by defender and. The quays recent polls the 36 year old has been playing as a holding midfielder for the valiant Senate scored in both of the last 2 games and Aspin told B.B.C. Radio Stoke he knew something in case much I think when your money journey in you've got probably a holding midfield player when you're trying to win a game yet you sometimes look at maybe take in your own that feel played off and changing the ship put because you can't bowl with a goal and because it is an influence talking. Of Captain one all the last 2 games and it's called Dreams with a goal so these are good contributions and sick a member and crew boss David all tell says his team need to believe they can put the ball in the back of the net his side have scored just 3 times in the league away from home this season and David are tells the side there are creating a chance working on a report on prices to make sure that the belief is there and not just going to believe him sells again the chances they get in there and also is not if we're not creating chances with current jumps in most games we'll get a promotion and that's what counts and you are up to date 735. Senators and John McCain is at breakfast B.B.C. Radio Stoke. Before we play find the top 10 let's just have a quick look at what the weather's doing is going to be alright today was an error if it at the week it was an hour and a Saturday if you're a football match it was so. So so so windy by the way if you do want to talk about the weekend's football league and I say it and I after 6 for sports at 6 Why does pricing grumble so today looking much better sunny spells is decent 8 Celsius $46.00 round high is the high tonight's 5 Celsius is the low $41.00 there will be some drizzle moving in and it is going to be fairly windy so not too clever overnight and some proper rain moving in wet mild out 10 sassiest the high some are that is 50 in fire and. Right right then it's time to do there. We are looking. For the top 10 strictly winners you have voted for by the readers of the Radio Times magazine so we've had in total 40 ways including last nights but we're at last night's one of course of such nice mistakes he's not in there so she's not in there yet but just from the last 30 minutes we had the top 10 so you know plainly against John today I'll let you go 1st of all it and I'll be honest with you strictly is not a strong point for me I've never seen a full series. That's like the new look is little eyes alight you know. The only one I can possibly think of because she's been in other shows as well Dixon she is Yeah Lisa Jackson is in there number 9. On Tonight I didn't ever I will go for the crickets Darren Gough down office in that I have got buzzes I mean it's stuff and I think that's one of the way you go thank you and there's one fan I don't often a number of. My 10 is it right OK just desperately picturing people. And there was that he was the astrologer and he didn't win it did he. Was he called you know he was no company but was you know Russell Grant Yes he was in it and he did it the way they're told you this is this is a very much a week area for me. Russell Grant did not being strict with people like you know when they like him and they love it ESTHER Yeah yeah they would like him I will say my mate All right I do but it's not in there is he for no reason I say this knowing that that's outrageous you know race is not. What about I.T.V. Celebrity and book writer Caroline Flack Caroline Flack is number 2. Could lose it. She's got to you've got one I need this to draw for goodness sake the press is suddenly on. I will go for Mark Ramprakash Mark Ramprakash is number 10 the is in the boy is just in there you go so between you've got 4 we did well we don't know nobody was there and I did not see it so we've got 6 left to find the top 11 is dead obvious you're going to kick yourself for not getting the pair of you but if you do you know you can drop a text now one trouble 3 Start a message with the word state that's 8 when trouble 3 Start your message with the word state and we have the top 10 in the next 10 minutes or so so talking of the weekends tally by the way we get rid of that come here they don't need attention music because we do know who won B.B.C. Sports Personality of the year it's one of my favorite shows on the T.V. Just reminds me being a kid reminds me that Christmas is on the way I'm going to save it and watch it in full because I could watch all of it with my little boy F.N. Spoiler alert well cyclist Garrett Thomas took the award the Welshman beat Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton and World Cup Golden Boot win to Harry Kane Thomas is only the 3rd Briton to have won the Tour de France and becomes the 5th cyclist to win the award obviously the story of you know go in there and threw me was obviously been so successful he was the leader and I guess coming through all the little things that happened along the way and I guess that's sort of captured the imagination of some people at the end of the get. Special or the people who just love cycling and everyone in Wales just end up voting for I'm just. That's just my theory it couldn't have been Sports Personality of the year though without some mention of. Football coming home. So David Dale is pretty action in the original is neither recording but last he took new level but I think it adds to the charm of the song that was the deal in Skinner performing with the Lightning Seeds for a 1st time in a long time Southgate one coach of the year and him in Golden went to Harry Kane was asked about the England football team's Yeah it's been amazing. Obviously the team kind of bonded so much. We believe believed in everyone out of the whole the the manager the staff to understand as well and.

Morning it was freezing at the weekend where it's windy horrible Did you just stay in I just wanted to stay in under a blanket However. Things are improving Richard and they as we move into this week yeah yeah I think it's going to feel just a little bit Mulder's restart this week in head through the majority of this week we're still going to see some one set of weather at times but I don't think it's going to be quite as dramatic as what we saw through Friday and into Saturday across this weekend should start off today with quite a bit of sunshine around actually a fairly bright start to Monday with Eventually some clouds moving in a bit later on through this afternoon and potentially a bit of light rain and drizzle to add to that feeling temperatures could get up to 10 degree celcius through Monday and as we go into tonight that rain will gradually fade away should stay largely cloudy through the course of this evening so temperatures aren't really dropping off too much down to about 6 or 7 degrees Celsius at the minimum so a fairly mild start to Tuesday morning Tuesday's looking like a cloudy day chance perhaps of seeing some rain move in as well and that could be quite heavy at times certainly by the afternoon it could be quite a breezy day today we're going to strengthen overnight so it could be quite gusty through tomorrow morning and tomorrow afternoon as well after that those things turn a little bit more sets with through Wednesday and Thursday some bright spells just the chance of the showers well through to the weekend and it's going to feel fairly mild temperatures up an 8 or 9 degree Celsius cheers Rich appreciate that so it's going to get a bit wetter but it is going to be a little bit milder.
