Sun gossip man joins Xfm
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 15 November 2011
Hmm, bizarre booking. Ha, there’s a double meaning for you in that there sentence. Don’t mention it. The Sun’s gossip monkey Gordon Smart is the latest new recruit at Xfm. The Smarsta is set to host a new weekly show every Sunday lunchtime on both Xfm stations, in London and Manchester. It will include gossip, interviews, topical chat and “intimate live sessions”.
Look, here’s Xfm Programme Director Andy Ashton saying shit: “Gordon is one of the most connected and in-demand showbiz interviewers in the UK and comes with one of the most enviable and jam-packed music and entertainment little black books. Full to the brim with A-list guests and backstage gossip from the biggest events around the world, ‘Smart On Sunday’ is set to be a must-listen show for our audience across the UK”.
Smart himself added: “Joining Xfm is up there with the day I got my first BMX. Sunday hangovers should never be suffered in silence and Xfm has helped me get through plenty of them over the years. Now it’s my turn to crack open the brilliant x-list, play some of the celebrity chats from my travels with The Sun and soothe some of those sore heads. I can’t wait to get started”.
