Dermot O'Leary and Matt Goss

Steve and Tim Smith chat to X Factor host Dermot O'Leary and former teen heartthrob Matt Goss. They also bring you three hours of fascinating Factoids and top notch Talkie bits.

It's Friday on the Big Show! Steve and Tim Smith chat to X Factor host Dermot O'Leary about his new album of songs taken from his Saturday Sessions show on Radio 2 and they also share with him their disappointment that he wasn't there to hug and interview the recently rescued Chilean miners. Steve and Tim also chat to former Bros heartthrob Matt Goss, who's now a superstar Las Vegas crooner.

In the fascinating Friday Factoids, discover how far you'll walk in a lifetime, and find out the only time of day a duck will lay its eggs.

In the top notch Talkie bits, Steve and Tim discuss the recent survey that reveals why a homecooked meal is the way to a man's heart and what hi-tech gadget Bruce Forsyth can't live without.

Today's Oldies are chosen by Jan Rowntree from Royston in Hertfordshire. Jan treats us to some more modern classics from Queen, Snow Patrol and Oasis.
