Get ready for a thrilling shake-up on the airwaves! Toyah Willcox is stepping into the spotlight to cover for Martin Kemp on Greatest Hits Radio, and it’s bound to be an electrifying ride. But here’s where it gets exciting: while Martin braves the bugs and challenges of ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, Toyah, already a beloved voice on the sister station Greatest Hits Radio 80s, will take the reins of Martin’s Mix Tape every Friday and Saturday night from November 21st until Christmas. This isn’t just a fill-in gig—it’s a full-blown party takeover, and Toyah is ready to bring her signature energy to the show.
Toyah herself couldn’t contain her enthusiasm: ‘I am so excited to join Greatest Hits Radio, filling in for Martin Kemp while he’s munching on critters in the jungle. I adore this station, and we’re going to create unforgettable moments together. Every Friday and Saturday night, *Martin’s Mix Tape will be the ultimate party destination!’* Her passion is infectious, and listeners are in for a treat as she puts her unique spin on the show.
But let’s not forget the man of the hour—Martin Kemp. Before jetting off to Australia, he sat down with fellow presenter Kate Thornton to reveal why he finally said yes to the jungle adventure. ‘It’s been a lifelong dream,’ he shared. ‘Every year, my family and I gather to watch the show, and when Roman did it, it felt like the perfect moment for me to take the leap.’ And this is the part most people miss: his family wasn’t just supportive—they were downright enthusiastic. ‘Roman was the first person I called, and he insisted I had to do it. Shirlie was equally excited, mostly because she gets to stay at that luxurious hotel she’s always seen on TV!’
Martin’s full interview with Kate Thornton is a must-listen, airing this Friday afternoon between 1pm and 4pm on Greatest Hits Radio. It’s a rare glimpse into the heart of a star about to embark on one of TV’s most grueling—yet entertaining—challenges.
Now, here’s the controversial question: Is Martin Kemp biting off more than he can chew, or will he emerge as the jungle’s unexpected hero? And while we’re at it, will Toyah’s temporary takeover become a fan favorite, leaving listeners begging for more?
