Nihal Arthanayake, who resigned from the BBC last month, is set to make a dramatic pivot to a career in comedy.
The 54-year-old worked at the broadcaster since 2002, presenting a range of shows across Radio One and the Asian Network. In 2016, he joined 5 Live as co-host of the “Afternoon Edition”, which was broadcast from 1pm to 4pm from Monday to Thursday.
