Sacked minister Ed Vaizey: 'I did not see it coming'

Theresa May has been putting the finishing touches to her top team in government, which means that while some ministers move in others move out.

One of those moving out is Ed Vaizey who had been Culture Minister for six years. He told 5 live's Stephen Nolan about how it all came to an end:

"You get a call from No 10 saying the Prime Minister is going to call you which is very flattering, I had to pull the car over to make sure I had a signal and I waited for 20 minutes with my stomach churning."
