Rylan Clark returned to his hosting duties on BBC's Radio 2 today.
And as the 33-year-old logged onto the airwaves, after two weeks away, at 3 pm on Saturday, the telly favourite told listeners "he's back" before going straight to playing a song.
After the music wrapped, he went into more detail about being back to work, following a hospital stay, and after he playfully poked fun at being off due to suffering from the flu he confirmed that he is "bouncing fit."
"I want to say a massive thank you to Gary and OJ for stepping in the last couple of weeks, don't stress," Rylan said into the microphone.
Putting on a jokey voice and referring to himself in the third person, he continued: "He's alive, he's alive, he is back and bouncing fit and do we have a show for you this afternoon."
