Vanilla Ice, Mid-Afternoon Mastermind, Our Tunes and Wish You Were There

OJ sits in for Steve Wright live from Salford, with Mid-Afternoon Mastermind, Our Tunes, Wish You Were There and Vanilla Ice talking about his One Hit Wonder 鈥業ce Ice Baby鈥�.

OJ sits in for Steve Wright and keeps you entertained all afternoon, live from the Salford Riviera.

Mid-Afternoon Mastermind is the quiz where you ask the questions and test OJ on your own specialist subject. He never knows the subject beforehand, and has just one song to revise before facing the questions.

Our Tunes gives a family of Radio 2 listeners the chance to choose 30 minutes of their music. No matter how far apart they are over the holiday season, this is their chance to come together and play their favourite tunes on Radio 2.

Wish You Were There is your chance to soundtrack a story or situation that OJ will tell you all about. He wants your suggestions for the perfect song to capture that moment.

OJ brings you some of the best interviews from his One Hit Wonders show.

Today, US rapper Vanilla Ice talks about his massive global hit 'Ice Ice Baby'.

How he wrote it when he was a teenager, his brother inspiring him to use the famous 'Under Pressure' sample, what Queen actually thought of it and what the song means to him now.

Robert Van Winkle, known by his stage name Vanilla Ice, is an American rapper, actor and television host.

He鈥檚 best known for his 1990 hit 'Ice Ice Baby', which went to number one around the world, including the UK.
