First Radio call, what can I expect?

Hi drewy82,

congratulations! Don’t be nervous, as previously mentioned the presenters are pros at making conversation. Most radio stations have a little chat with you and then edit the conversation to play at a later time, so don’t worry if you are feeling the conversation doesn’t flow, they’ll pick the best bits and edit the rest out.

They never called, does that happen often? really annoying as barely slept with being so anxious, stood in the cold so I could get a good signal and nothing

Sometimes they set up more than one call so if the first one doesn't answer they can move on to a second/third etc did you listen to the show? (thought they would have said that at the time of the first call though)

Had a look and assume it was this one 
https://planetradio.co.uk/absolute-radio/competitions/win/win-your-perfect-prize-this-christmas-with-kp-nuts!/


so this applies

"On shortlisting, we will require the entrant to coherently explain their entry. The entry must be compelling and match the entry that was entered online. The entrant will need to explain in detail the prize they want and what it means to them this Christmas. On being called during the entry period does not mean that the entrant has won. From the daily shortlisted entries, there may be multiple winners taken to air by the breakfast production team. Only when a shortlisted entrant has been brought to air and told they are a winner; will they be classed as a winner and receive the prize.

 

All finalists will be called ahead the competition segment being recorded.  If the chosen finalist is unavailable when we come to call them on a competition record date, a backup finalist from the shortlist will be chosen in their place and the original finalist will forfeit their prize."

Cheers, least I avoided an awkward explanation on how much it would cost as everywhere seems to be different.
