Birthday blunders

Emma Willis

Available for 19 days

There's no better feeling than a Saturday afternoon, right? Whether you’re out and about, or preparing for a glorious night in, Emma Willis is standing by to speak to you and hit shuffle on all your favourite music. As Emma turned 50 this week, we’re talking about birthday blunders and the moments when celebrations didn’t quite go to plan! On Match of the Day, Emma's weekly dating slot, she chats to listeners about their love lives; the good, the bad and the unforgettable! Today, Michelle gets in touch after meeting someone at a Duran Duran concert in Exeter, but in the chaos of the night they never exchanged numbers. Now, Emma and the Radio 2 listeners are on a mission to help track down JP to see if they can reconnect. Going on a date or got a dating story you'd like to share? Email Emma@bbc.co.uk now After 2pm, it's the Saturday Matinee and you are the stars of the show! As theatres across the UK welcome their afternoon audiences, Emma checks in with all the performers out there. Today Emma chats to Shaun, a property manager by day and pub and club singer by night, who’s been performing across Yorkshire and beyond for over a decade. Ask your smart speaker to 'Play Radio 2'. Produced by Biscuit Jim Ltd for BBC Radio 2.
