Growing up, I loved his style on Radio 1 'In The Afternoon' and even 'In The Morning' in the 90s. He was obviously never short of a feature or ten, and his instantly-recognisable jingles were thrilling for a young pres geek like me.
He really did make his big show sound big, even if his style lost a bit of it's appeal to me in recent years.
It does feel like he's gone too soon - especially as he was settling in to his new Radio 2 routine, and I don't think Love Songs will be quite the same without him. Indeed, I heard the Valentine's special at the weekend and joked to my partner that'd I'd try and get them a dedication from Steve on the show one day...
Such sad news.
