Bam Bam is back on London radio. The former Kiss 100 breakfast show host, who left his successful show for the station after earning them a record breaking OfCom fine, had a short spell at Capital Radio, but was axed from the schedules when recently appointed MD Paul Jackson undertook a revamp. He has now resurfaced on BBC London, filling in for Danny Baker. He is due back on the BBC station this week, though it's not clear if he's getting a regular show all of his own. The presenter, real name Peter Poulton, told his BBC London listeners that he now wanted to be known as just Bam. According to Radio Today, he said: "Bam Bam felt like a good idea as a name when I was 24 years old and working for dance music radio stations. It all worked, it all fitted. I'm 38, nearly 40 years old, I have children and a house now, I am stuck with a nickname that doesn't fit anymore but I can't shake it off".
