SARA Cox made a triumphant return to her home town - but only thanks to her father Len.
For the Bolton-born DJ and her show crew got lost on the way up from London, and she had to phone home for directions.
It was fellow Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles who told Sara and her crew that they had taken the wrong road to Bolton.
Leeds-born Moyles telephoned Bolton's Sara as they were resting at a service station -- just off the A1.
He told them: "You should be on the M6. You're heading towards Doncaster." Sara then phoned her dad for directions.
The BBC Radio 1 van finally made it to Bolton at 8.30pm on Thursday after six-and-a-half hours on the road.
