A boat skipper who blocked an international distress channel led to an appeal on Jonathan Ross's Radio 2 show.

Dover coastguard discovered the vessel's crew had left their microphone on, blocking channel 16 off the Kent coast, which is used for distress calls.

All coastguard staff could hear was Radio 2 on in the background so they called the BBC, who made the appeal on Mr Ross's show during a news bulletin.

Ricky Salmon is also a voiceover artist and podcast producer.
