Steve Wright has died 💔

We always listened to Steve on Sunday mornings. I too felt a real sense of loss- then heard Bodyshop was going into administration and it definitely seems like the end of an era.

I was so shocked and sad to hear the news 💔 it felt like loosing someone I knew well although I’d never met him …

Stopped listening to the BBC2 afternoon show when he was replaced but always listened to Sunday Love Songs- liked the sound of his voice

'I'm so angry I could thrown the phone down' . Memories of Mr. Angry. RIP Steve Wright.

RIP Steve Wright-
he’s been the soundtrack to most of my adult life-
‘loved the shows, Steve, been serious rememberin-no g’-
another gone too soon. 😢

Oh that's a brilliant tribute mamaa. Nearly brought a tear to my eye.

Serious rememberin no g. I think Steve would have loved that.

Fillet the fish! My little boy always used to say Phillip the Fish. Used to have us in stitches when we were.driving around the country in his artic lorry.
I feel a.bit lost knowing he's gone, even though I never met him. A sad time for many 😔

Did not do sorry

Very sad to hear this always listened to his afternoon show, never did after they hounded him off radio 2 . It must have been very sudden as he do his Sunday show and died on Monday . Brings your mortality home he was a year younger than me. RIP

Laters. 🥲

I heard the news yesterday. Sara Cox really struggled to keep it together on her show .
It is so sad to hear he has died .
I used to listen to him whilst working as a hygienist, first on radio 1 and then radio 2 , so for much of my career, he kept me going in the afternoons .
My favourite was Mr angry from purley as I’m from Purley . I used to like the factoids as well .
I read on his obituary today that Kenny Everett was his inspiration for his zany humour type of show with his posse .
RIP

I am so sad about the death of one of my all time favourite DJ’s Steve Wright. I read it last night on my phone just after 5pm and I felt immediately saddened. We will all miss such a wonderful man, human being and all round good guy. RIP Steve.

I loved listening to Steve Wright when I was working and having to travel around a lot. Great programming and great company when on air. R.I.P.

I just liked his voice too 🙂

"I need an ambliance"
That one stayed with us, over the years.

"Fillet of fish, fillet of fish! Give me fish to fillet!"
He was very silly.

Why post on this thread which is in remembrance?

That was a shock yesterday.
Steve wasn't my favourite DJ but did help me through some lengthy afternoon dental appointments!
RIP.

That's ironic. I just heard Tony Blackburn saying that Steve hated the dentist.

I used to listen to Steve Wright in the car while waiting to pick up my GCs from school. He will be missed.

Shame on you mae.13. He was my favourite DJ. RIP Steve, you will be so missed.

You're entitled to your opinion mae13 but Steve Wright was not an evil man. Heaven knows there are plenty of those around. He did no harm to anyone and was completely uncontroversial and he doesn't deserve a character assassination just after his sudden death.

Now is not the time to critique his style of presentation. That is a pathetic thing to do. There are plenty of celebrities that I think are overrated, not funny, not to my personal taste but I would not post a spiteful comment immediately after their deaths. I would keep my thoughts to myself, which is exactly what anyone with half a heart would do.

Yes - totally uncalled for Mae13. Whether you liked him or not, he has just died. How heartless of you. I thought Steve was wonderful and always happy, cheerful and a great DJ who played such happy music. He’ll be much missed.

RIP Steve.
Very unpleasant post Mae13.

We always listened to Steve in the afternoon, when my girl got home, then we played Bamboozle on teletext.
