BBC Radio Stoke’s Paula White had a few too many before her final show. She lasted just half an hour before bosses intervened.
A few slurred highlights from White's abruptly curtailed farewell broadcast: "I've had a couple of drinks, I'm not drunk. I'm sad..."
Inviting readers to send in their playlist requests, she said: "Start your messages with... Stoke? Yes, start it with Stoke. I don't care. Whatever you want to hear this afternoon, it's like you can hear it."
Returning from her first song, she said: "It's a P-A-R-T-Y because I said so? Some people will say, 'Oh, thank goodness she's gone.'"
"Other people will go, 'How will I get the dog to sleep?' because I know that people play this show out for their dogs. How lovely."
