Following the news that radio presenter and DJ Ken Bruce would be leaving BBC Radio 2 mid-morning show after 31 years, social media was flooded with memories of his long tenure. The 71-year-old Scot will join Greatest Hits Radio in April, taking with him his iconic Popmaster show, but one Welsh celebrity will feel his departure more than many.
Ken's long career is jam-packed with memorable moments and one that certainly comes to mind for many people, happened on April Fool's Day 2011. Back in 2011 Gavin and Stacey star, and amazing impressionist, Rob Brydon played a trick on Ken's regular viewers prompting some to complain about Ken being 'annoying'.
On the day that is dedicated to pranks, Welsh comic Rob Brydon impersonated Ken for an entire show. The April Fool's Day stunt fooled viewers and even prompted some to suggest that Ken had been drinking. One person said on social media at the time: "Ken Bruce has been really annoying this morning, totally unlike him, but I for one am not impressed. There, I've said it now, rant over."
