In a Summer when many of us will be holidaying in the UK, we thought we’d jump on the bandwagon and take The Hits Radio Breakfast Show with Fleur East on its very own UK tour with our Summer Staycation!

WATCH: Summer Staycation highlights

We boarded the show on our special Fleur East tour bus and hit up three amazing holiday locations across the UK over the Summer months, bringing the best of the British Summer direct to you.

The brilliant Tom Grennan joined us for the first Summer Staycation in sunny Bournemouth. He performed his single 'Little Bit Of Love' and took part in some typical British seaside activities with the Hits Radio Breakfast gang.

We were live from Blackpool for the second Summer Staycation where Sigala joined us for a ride on The Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. He even performed a stunning rendition of his track 'You For Me' at the top of Blackpool Tower!

For the third and final stop on our Summer Staycation tour we headed to Skegness where Fleur faced her fears and went on a VERY tall rollercoaster, we visited the zoo and we chatted to the amazing Ella Henderson.

Take a look back at what we got up to...

Week 3: Skegness

Week three saw us hop on our tour bus to Skegness! The team got up to lots of fun including going head-to-head on the bumper cars, challenging Fleur to face her fear of tall rollercoasters and visiting the seals at the zoo! The Hits Radio gang also sampled some of Skegness' best candy floss before Fleur performed on stage to close the Staycation in spectacular style.

Week 2: Blackpool

That's right, we headed to classic British summer holiday location... Blackpool! We were joined by superstar DJ Sigala who performed his highest ever gig live on the top of glass floor from the top of the Blackpool Tower. Which incidentally was lit up in Hits Radio Colours displaying Hits Radio in huge LED LIGHTS!

Then, after the guys bumped into him in the bar last night, they were joined by Sir Kier Starmer who told them all about his day out with drag queens, how he was handling the lockdown changes and how he too had been hanging out with Sigala!

He was also slightly disappointed that the breakfast team’s arrival in the town was trending higher than his in the Blackpool Gazette! 👀

Week 1: Bournemouth

We started the tour with a bang as we were joined by the amazing Tom Grennan at Harbour Heights in Poole, where he put on a stunning performance of ‘Little Bit of Love’ whilst overlooking the beautiful Sandbanks, the first time he’s been able to perform his new track in a live environment!

Tom then joined Fleur for a penalty shoot-out on the beach to predict the England score and a round of crazy golf!
