BBC Radio 2 announce long-standing presenter is quitting after 20 years

Long-standing BBC Radio 2 presenter Vanessa Feltz has announced she is leaving her Early Breakfast Show and London Breakfast Show. The presenter is turning off her alarm clock once and for all after nearly 20 years.

Vanessa began presenting the Radio 2 Early Breakfast Show in January 2011, from 5am-6.30am, which was extended to 4am from January 2021. Listeners have tuned in over the years as Vanessa has entertained with the news of the day, Famous Last Words, Jolly Good Fellows, The Feltz Philological Challenge and Early Bird Earworms.

Before taking over the breakfast show, she presented a mid-morning phone-in show on the station for 10 years, and from 2001 presented a mid-afternoon phone-in show.
