Laura Busson

Laura Margaret Busson (née Sayers; 11 October 1978) is BBC Radio 2's Commissioning Executive and deputy to the Head of Station, Helen Thomas.

As well as being an assistant, Laura occasionally produced shows for Scott Mills, JK and Joel and Sara Cox.

The team decided to carry this feature on again when they next covered for Moyles during January 2006 and began Season 2, entitled "The College Years".

Potential partners were asked to fill in a form on BBC Radio 1's website and, because of the success, in the last week of March 2006 a tour known as 'One Night with Laura' took place in Southampton, Cardiff, Nottingham, Newcastle and Glasgow.

This included many strange occurrences such as a contestant lying on a bed of nails and asking Sayers to stand on his back.

Each of the final three were paraded on Radio 1 over a week of breakfast shows, participating in tasks and taking part in interviews to try to win over their all important votes.

Even though he won the overall competition, after he and Laura spent a weekend in Paris together, it was clear Sayers believed him more of a friend than a boyfriend.

In July 2015 Laura left BBC Radio 1 to work for Heart Yorkshire as Programme Controller.
