Rob Brydon jokingly asked fans to "respect his privacy" at a "difficult" time after a BBC co-star recently announced they were quitting. News broke recently that Ken Bruce would be leaving his BBC Radio 2 show after 31 years.
Swansea-born Gavin and Stacey star Rob lamented the loss of Ken from the programme on Twitter, writing: "Devastated to hear @RealKenBruce has decided to leave @BBCRadio2. I ask that people please respect my privacy at this difficult time."
Announcing his departure, Ken explained to listeners: "I have decided the time is right for me to move on from Radio 2. I’ll reach the end of my current contract in March, and so at that point I will be moving on from Radio 2. Nothing stays the same forever... I have been here for quite a long time now, and it possibly is time to move over and let somebody else have a go."
