Confessions
Confessions is back on Drivetime!
Twenty years ago, when Simon was a whippersnapper presenter on BBC Radio 1, he received thousands of letters from listeners confessing their darkest secrets and worst misdemeanours, begging for his forgiveness. Every day, Father Mayo read out a confession - you may remember one about an unsuspecting goat; another involving Hammy the Hamster; one about a runaway milk float; or even the incident with Uncle Eric's ashes - and then he'd decide whether to grant forgiveness or not.
Instead of sending Simon your confession by letter like you used to, why not email him at [email protected] or fill in our online Confessions form.
