Steve Scruton

Steve Scruton

BBC Essex's housewife's choice is happy to admit to having dreamt up the idea of Pirate BBC Essex.

A self confessed ready meal junkie Steve likes the finer things in life.

Forty years ago when pirate radio started, Steve was tuned in to his tranny in the kitchen trying to get the best signal and telling Mum -"this is really special."

Steve Scruton in 1988 after just joining BBC Essex.

After working as a TV and radio engineer, Steve got behind the other side of the equipment, joining Southend based Essex Radio.

He was poached by the BBC in 1988, and was soon presenting the afternoon show on BBC Essex. Known affectionately as the Housewives' Choice, Steve has just recorded his best ever listening figures.
