BBC Radio 2's Ken Bruce says he's been forced out early as he's replaced by Vernon Kay

Ken Bruce has devastated fans by announcing his last BBC Radio 2 show will air next Friday, rather than the end of March.

In a statement on Twitter, the broadcaster said: "I will be presenting my last show on Radio 2 next Friday. I had intended fulfilling my contract until the end of March but the BBC has decided it wants me to leave earlier. Let’s enjoy the week ahead!"

Ken, 71, announced his decision to leave the radio station in January and it was soon revealed he was joining Greatest Hits Radio.
