[peel] What is the link between Carol Vorderman and John peel?

[MARK LUETCHFORD]

reading Mr Kershaw's biog and there is more detail - on p138 he tells the story of how he was responsible for gifting Carol to the world through a talent show he organised whilst working on a Leeds radio station - that they became "romantically attached" for three weeks in the summer of 1983 and she was part of his sisters band but  that she quit the Blue Tits "in a huff" just before the peel session. The world is a curious place.

Ah I've got that 7", will have to check the sleeve! I seem to recall that David Bowie guests on guitar?

She's not credited as being on the Peel session
