Sara Cox kicked off her debut Radio 2 breakfast show with a selection of playful songs, dismissing any hidden messages. Starting at 6:30 am, she introduced tracks like ‘About Damn Time’ by Lizzo and ‘Finally’ by CeCe Peniston, humorously denying any cryptic meanings in the music choices.

The lighthearted tone continued as ‘At Last’ by Etta James played, prompting Sara to joke about its self-indulgence. She went on to feature James’ ‘She’s A Star’ and welcomed actor Tom Hanks as her first interview guest, who praised her as the “most popular girl on the airwaves.”

Fans quickly showed their approval for Sara’s show, praising her song selections and on-air presence. Online supporters expressed their joy at waking up to her show and eagerly awaited more. Sara herself admitted to feeling nervous on her first day hosting the prestigious breakfast show, taking over from Scott Mills.

In a shift from the previous host, Sara’s new show promises a fresh format with audience engagement at its core, including familiar segments from her afternoon show alongside new morning delights and exclusive interviews with top celebrities.

Listeners can catch up on Sara’s Breakfast show on Radio 2 via BBC Sounds and stay tuned to the action on BBC Radio 2’s Instagram. For more entertainment news and updates, follow Mirror Celebs on various social media platforms.
