Can anyone advise what I might try to get that radio ready vocal sound?

This is an impossible question to answer because if you sit down and really listen, you won't find two vocals that sound the same on a given album, much less by different artists.
Distorted vocals are great for something, stupid for others.
Vocals with slapback delay are great for some things, horrendous on others.
You get the idea.
The idea is to forget about the "radio ready" idea. This has nothing to do with it. In fact, it pulls you down the wrong road that says that you are competing with some kind of standard. This is not the case.
Instead, focus on making the song the best it can. If the song needs reverb, delay, chorus, distortion, AM Radio effect, etc...do it. If the song works, the recording will work.
