As Jay Cole said to the OGs, I'm thanking you now.

So much to get through in part two of your Morning Mix as well.

From secret payouts and fake evidence to political cover-ups, we're going to speak to Frank Connolly, who's brought an incredible book out.

We'll have a chat with Frank.

Tom Coleman, sleep expert, nationally and internationally acclaimed, we'll link in with as well.

His brand new book is called Exposed.

We'll be talking live
