“I’m still working with SCA [Hit Network] and we’ve got some great projects coming up over the summer, which is fantastic because I love radio,” Grant told Now To Love.
“I had an absolute blast with that radio show [Grant, Ed and Ash] and I wouldn’t change it for the world, so it’s really cool to be able to some stuff with SCA and do things like summer breakfast.”
Grant admitted that the appeal of being on air was the fact that “radio is loose, fast, wild and free”.

While the axing was a shock, the 42-year-old took it in his stride and turned his focus to his wife Chezzi and their two daughters, Sailor, eight, Scout, four.
“I want my focus, now that I have a little bit more breathing room in my life, on actually just being a better father and partner. I just want to be around the girls more, I want to do school pick-ups. I teaching myself how to cook properly and just be the guy I kind of always wanted to be but never had the time to be,” Grant explained.
“I’m putting it into the family at the moment because they’ve sacrificed a lot with me being away with radio and TV and I owe it to them, to put some time back into them.”
