Mark Goodier revealed as Steve Wright's BBC Radio 2 Pick of the Pops replacement following DJ legend's tragic death


The legendary radio presenter was found dead at his home on February 12 aged 69 - four years after his ex-wife passed away during Covid which had made him become 'extremely withdrawn'.

Mark Goodier has been revealed as Steve Wright’s BBC Radio 2 Pick of the Pops replacement following DJ legend’s tragic death. Neighbours told The Sun he stopped drinking in the area and believe the sudden death of his ex-wife Cyndi Robinson at the age of 65 in July 2020 had hit Wright hard. Just two days before his father passed away, Tom posted that he had returned to Britain to spend a week with him before he received his MBE awarded in the New Year Honours list.
