What has Brooke said about joining the show?
When chatting about joining Hits Radio North East, Brooke said: "I am thrilled to be keeping Gemma’s seat warm for her whilst she’s away. I’ve just had some time off being a Mum myself, so I know how she’s feeling, and I’ve assured Gemma her show is in safe hands.
