Line 11:
After Radio 1, Brookes worked for numerous radio stations, presenting a networked show called ''Bruno At The Millhouse'', while hosting a daily mid-morning slot for [[Leeds]] station [[Radio Aire]]. He was also involved in a public spat with ex-Radio 1 colleague [[Bob Harris (radio)|Bob Harris]], whom Brookes had lent money for a flat. When Harris lost his job and couldn't pay it back, Brookes laid an unsuccessful claim to his extensive and valuable record collection.
In recent years, Brookes has kept a low public profile but has made a fortune with his company Storm, which was the UK's first 24 hour [[internet]] radio station. At Storm, Brookes employed [[Jon Bithrey]], now a succesful radio presenter working for [[BBC Radio Jersey]]
Brookes was involved for many years with TV presenter [[Anthea Turner]] but in a twist of irony, she left him for Peter Powell, the man whose gig had been taken by Brookes when he got his break. She later claimed he had beaten her during their relationship, a claim he denied. He later married [[model]] Debbie Brooker.
