Mike Patterson hosts Sunday breakfast on Darlington's Star Radio

I am Patto, born in Darlington, what a brill place to live! I have been married to Suzanne for

over 20 years and have 2 children, my daughter Emma who is studying Journalism at University and son Oliver. Our family life is pretty hectic, Suzanne works full time in a school.We love our weekends, going into town, eating out and meeting up with friends.

We are an active family always on the go, here, there and everywhere. Oli is a good singer and we are always taking him off to showcases,he has applied for Britain's Got Talent, so watch this space! He must take after me, as I applied for Big Brother a couple of years ago and nearly got in the house. Someone called Nadia beat me to it though.....!

I don't to be honest like shopping but instead enjoy watching good films, my favourites being  'Forrest Gump' and 'Its a Wonderful Life' and you can't beat Benidorm on ITV too! We love our holidays abroad and frequently can be seen in numerous Karaoke bars across Europe.  I like sport and support Darlington, I also enjoy a swift half in my local pub, The Britannia . The things I really hate are racist, bad manners and over the top celebs! They really get on my nerves. That's me in a nutshell!
