Paul O’Grady has landed a new role, after leaving BBC Radio 2, as a deputy lieutenant of Kent.
The 67-year-old broadcaster has been appointed to carry out his new ceremonial duties in the south-eastern county just three months after his departure from the Sunday afternoon show he hosted for nearly 14 years.
In his leaving statement, O'Grady spoke of how much he would miss his listeners but he felt that "now is the right time to go”.
