The BBC has confirmed who will replace Ken Bruce on his BBC Radio 2 mid-morning weekday show.
TV presenter Vernon Kay will take over the position in May after it was announced last month that broadcasting veteran Bruce would be stepping down from his role on the station after 31 years. Now, Bruce will host his final midday show at 9.3am on March 3, the BBC said.
Kay is known for fronting various shows on Channel 4’s T4 as well as ITV programmes including All Star Family Fortunes, Just The Two Of Us, and Beat The Star. The 48-year-old presented his own BBC Radio 1 show between 2004 and 2012, and another on Radio X between 2015 and 2017.
