RADIO and TV presenter Jo Whiley has shared her favourite memories from Glastonbury Festival before this year's edition gets under way.

Whiley will be previewing and presenting Shania Twain’s debut Glastonbury performance on the Pyramid Stage on Sunday, June 30, between 5 and 8pm on BBC Radio 2.

Asked about her favourite moment from the festival over the years, she said: “One of my favourite memories is interviewing Adele just before she performed her Saturday night, Pyramid Stage headline performance in 2016.

“She was so nervous – and who could blame her!

"It was such an emotional interview – veering from laughter to tears many times."

Whiley, 58, also described Glastonbury as her “happy place”.

She said: “For those of us who work on the shows – it’s like a big family reunion.

"We don’t see each other from one year to the next but when we’re in that field together in June, it’s big hugs all round and then we crack on with what we’re there to do – bring Glasto to all of those watching and listening at home.

"There’s genuine magic in those fields for that weekend and I hope that everyone gets to see and experience it – wherever they are.”
