Saturday 21st February, 2026:

A chesty cough recovering Simon Shiekh celebrates his 35th anniversary today when in 1991 (Thursday 21st February), aged 20, he was trekking on the bus to Loughborough (East Midlands – England – UK) to host a radio show from 9.30am to 11.30am (UK Time) on it’s University radio station for the very first time.

Having initially broadcast a “dry run” of 2 shows just 2 weeks previously, thanks to a cold spell thereafter which brought heavy snow to Eastern and Central England, notably Central London had 20cm of snow on the 8th with much deeper snow on the Pennines and in Eastern England - parts of Yorkshire recorded 51cm.

Temperatures remained below zero in these areas continuously between the 6th and 9th of February and maximum temperatures were between -3 and -5C, forcing Simon to stay at home and being snowed in with the family.

During the night of the 7th, the snow became heavy and persistent in London, bringing 20 cm in central London and 25cm in boroughs such as Croydon and Bromley, the deepest snow since winter of 1962-1963. This brought the rail network into chaos, Heathrow was forced to cancel flights and Gatwick and Birmingham airports were closed. On the 8th of February, the snow was lighter and started to ease. However, the cold spell and the snow lasted for several days, but then Simon was finally able to return back to the radio station for the “Time Out” show from 9.30am to 11.30am, and also did so on the Friday 22nd, Tuesday 26th and Friday 1st March.

Simon (who was out of work at the time in general, not long after finishing a Christmas temporary job at Argos in Leicester City Centre) told his SSCOM agency, “Despite being on the sick, thankfully, in the warm, I’m also able to look back on this exciting era for me, 35 years on having left Hospital Radio in Leicester, 9 months before, by still having the recordings of most of my programmes (including my very first one of Thursday 21st February) and of course, they are now being uploaded to our Soundcloud platform, exclusively – luckily, the cassette tapes haven’t snapped – sounds like I’ve managed to care for them”.

A spokeswoman for SSCOM GROUP said that Simon’s been able to see in 2 milestones (not only this 35th anniversary, but also his recent 55th birthday) with the best, still to come in 2026........

Sscom spoilers: Simon Shiekh kicks off radio broadcasting journey from early 90s following missing out on impending radio return (during Christmas and New Years Eve, respectively) to see out 2025, but now still set to make the return in spring 2026:

Producers SSCOM GROUP reveal further this afternoon that initial plans are still in place for the former Hospital and Student Radio presenter to “return” during late winter/early Spring, with a timeline to be confirmed in due course, after SSCOM IT to assist in technical set up.

In a further development since this was initially announced, they say that Simon could still end up in a “bidding” war to sign up for a particular radio station/or stations for the comeback.

In the meantime, Simon has now revealed his radio journey starting point and from today, listeners will be able to join the group’s “Soundcloud” platform and be notified as and when “shows” are “uploaded”. The first show (part 1) has now been uploaded today (from Sunday 8th January, 1995, the evening before Simon returned to the University of Bradford for the New Year) kicking off New Year, 2026 in style…..

A spokeswoman for the group said that it has been a long dream for Simon to “comeback” and surprise friends, strangers and acquaintances with some fab hits from the last 60 years and quips to sprinkle some sparkle, soon, but that he apologises for the radio presenting delay in the meantime.

Speaking about this further new development, Simon said “Following on from the recent announcement that I am looking to “comeback”, we’ve now decided to dish out my previous radio shows in 2026 that have never been revealed to everyone before. This is going to be so exciting to do and so, we have recently instructed our team to get the ball rolling – watch the space for more to come from now until Christmas/New Year”.

The new development is one of a number the group has planned for 2026 and also involves Simon returning to his former University town, Bradford (West Yorkshire) to volunteer for the last ever time for Bradford 2025 – City of Culture (of which officially ended on the weekend of Saturday 20th/Sunday 21st December, 2025, of which Simon was unable to travel up for due to a recent ankle injury) later this month and next month.

“2025 has still ended in style for me, despite a couple of recent setbacks, with more to be revealed, come 2026”, he concluded.

EXCLUSIVE!

Sarah Stevens (SSCOM)

5.00pm (UK Time) – Friday Sept 05

“The Re-Union 2 – The Sequel”’s Temporary Executive Consultant, Amy Harrison has confirmed this afternoon (UK Time) that a group of cast members are to become embroiled in a paranormal event in the new film drama.

The Sscom as Producers will now also devote an instalment to this event, alongside the other plots, filming of which, is planned for the evening of Friday 13th February, 2026.

The news follows the revelation that usual Exec Producer, Simon Shiekh will now return in the role as of Monday 27th October, to take the production to it’s eventual conclusion, sometime in 2026.

Simon is no stranger to organising and hosting charity events in relation to the paranormal in 1994, 2004 (the latter year, achieving extensive local media coverage), 2012 and most recently in 2013.

"We believe that this will now be an interesting angle for some cast members involved, and create even more drama to come”, said Amy.

From a storyline perspective, the production has teased that the rest of the cast and potential audience will have to wait and see what lies ahead as regards this, and most importantly, which sole character this could be connected to….

"Whilst the rest remains under wraps for now, it’s going to be well worth the wait, with a further, revised trailer to be released, sometime, thereafter, featuring snippets of that evening’s filming, creating intrigue and suspense”, she concluded.

The Re-Union 2 – The Sequel’s revised trailer (released last Friday) can still be viewed on the group’s You-Tube channel……..

BREAKING NEWS – Temporary Executive Producer, Amy Harrison unexpectedly releases revised trailer for The Re-Union 2 - The Sequel

EXCLUSIVE BY SARAH STEVENS

29 AUGUST 2025

The countdown to Autumn starts tonight (UK Time) but in a shock twist, this has meant that an unexpected, revised trailer has now been released by the SSCOM GROUP’s Temporary Executive Producer, Amy Harrison (in place of Simon Shiekh) for a new film drama sequel, out on Sscom’s you-tube channel.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xiIlPtTgis
Simon (of whom is working on “other” matters at the group, in particular, earmarking a “comeback” in radio broadcasting) will now return as Executive Producer as of Monday 27th October onwards, to help finish off the production, in dramatic style and will also hope to announce a few” key” signings to the production.

His unexpected continuing storyline (from The Re-Union film) will now culminate with the “dramatic conclusion” to one of his fictitious identical triplet brothers. He also warned that things could turn the other way, in terms of who he has now decided to “kill” off in the series, ending their SSCOM career in spectacular fashion, when they won’t see it coming….

Speaking to SSCOM’s Sarah Stevens (ahead of Simon’s return later this Autumn), Amy said that she had thought long and hard on which way to help direct the production after “omitting” a couple of former cast members who were no longer feasible to the production.

“After revisiting the production, recently and also looking back at our recent productions so far to work on continuing the story, this revised trailer should give some clues and maybe not, leaving intrigue and suspense”, she quipped.

“However, I have now lifted that in dramatic style and it’s a fine trailer, full of potential twists and turns, ahead – it also paves the way for Simon to return to Dublin in Ireland, as well as in Amsterdam in Holland and Paris in France”, she said.

Luciana Williams (HR Advisor for the group) added, “I am stunned to see that Amy has now released this as we wanted it to be epic, and for Simon to return in time to bring a few shocks in – sounds like she has certainly done that for now – that is remarkable”.

A spokeswoman for the SSCOM GROUP said that this now paves the way for Simon to focus personally on those other matters and come back soon, in style.


The Re-Union 2 - The Sequel's existing trailer can now be viewed on SSCOM’s You tube channel.
