Double sourced right? So it must be true. Plus, this guy tweeted it, and he knows all about BBC Radio breakfast shows.
Huge congratulations to @ZoeTheBall but also a big well done to the person doing the captions on the news. You’re both having very good days. https://t.co/KJCqEnJ11F

And if you really want to know when it happened …
Cross my heart! 11am top of the hour, pity it's just outside of the iPlayer rewind now.

It was either that or 'Cox for breakfast'
