BOLTON'S Radio 1 DJ Mark Radcliffe has become a dad for the second time.

Bella, his wife of nine months, gave birth this week to daughter Mia, who weighed in at a healthy 9lb 8oz.

The DJ is taking a week off work to celebrate. Kevin Greening and Chris Moyles are to lengthen their shows by an hour each to fill in for Mark and sidekick Marc "Lard" Riley, but his absence is a headache for Radio 1 bosses who are losing DJs to the flu bug.
