Grace covered Wright's Sunday Love Songs on BBC Radio 2 in December 2007 and January 2008.
She also filled in during April 2010, when Wright was on holiday in the United States and was then forced to remain there, due to the volcanic eruptions in Iceland.

On 1 July 2022 Wright announced Steve Wright in the Afternoon was to end in autumn 2022. It was also announced that Grace and Tim Smith were also to leave BBC Radio 2.[7]
Janey Lee Grace ended her final programme on Steve Wright in the Afternoon on 30 September 2022, thus also leaving BBC Radio 2 after 23 years at the station.
