Shelagh lovestruck by Goran
I have worked with Shelagh for a few years now and it is safe to say that I have never seen her gob-smacked or go so red that I had to fill out an incident report.
That changed this morning.
Shelagh has openly admitted on air quite a few times that Goran Ivanisevic - the 2001 Wimbledon Champion from Croatia - holds a very special place in her heart... a very special place indeed.
Therefore in our production meeting prior to today's show we told her that she was going to be speaking with Steffan Edberg when Goran was lined up to speak to her instead.
Then, on air, Nicky reveals that it was indeed the love of Shelagh's life on the other end of the phone - cue her going crimson red, mouth dropping on the table and generally getting too flustered to concentrate.
You may wonder when you listen below why Nicky then continued to carry on interviewing Goran. Well, Shelagh was instructed to take over the interview but instead passed a note to Nicky like a love-struck girl at school.

10:00 Wed, 25 Nov 09
Should schools teach children as young as five about domestic violence? The Government thinks so. They are launching a new campaign that'll see lessons on equality and domestic violence added to the curriculum from 2011. But critics argue it could harm children's education. Here's what you had to say.

Well some of us are jealous - of Mr Ivanisevic! But the better tennis player won fair lady and I was overjoyed with THAT Wimbledon success of his you know?
Ms Fogarty though. I have obviously given too much time to BBC TV News and Radio Four personnel. I console myself with him (Goran) being brave enough to dot his age (his best years are no doubt behind him but who knew Goran was THAT old, eh Shelagh?)
I looked up his "birthday" - sort of and found "The longest division of geologic time, containing two or more eras" Well Mr Ivanisevic - you have all my best regards - good luck OLD man!

Nicky - is this really the best you can offer us by way of a blog contribution.....???
I generally enjoy listening to your news programme + phone-in BUT ....... perhaps sometimes you (and in this case your co-presenter too) need to remind yourself that you're privileged to be working on air for the BBC - and not still in the fifth form
