He hosted the SSAFA Big Brew Up tea party at Colchester Garrison Radio's studios at Homefield Road while the morning show was on air.

Mr Luckman said: "It went so well, we probably had about 40-odd people in here and a little parking lot outside for pushchairs. I'm definitely planning to fill this studio up for something like this again."

There was a competition and raffle and the event raised £112 for the charity which supports servicemen and women and veterans.
