QUOTE OF THE DAY: BBC RADIO 1XTRA HOST SARAH-JANE CRAWFORD
‘I bridge the gap between middle England and the street’ I am not sure if Sarah was joking about bridging the gap between middle England and the ‘street’ but if not, I had no idea Miss Sarah-Jane Crawford was ‘about that life’. Hahahahahahaha.
