Steve Wright is presenting his last BBC Radio 2 afternoon show, saying "no tension here, just fun, celebration and thanks to you" as he bids farewell after 23 years. The 68-year-old broadcaster announced he would be leaving his afternoon show in July as part of the station's schedule shake-up.
He has presented Steve Wright In The Afternoon on the Radio 2 slot since 1999 and also presents Steve Wright's Sunday Love Songs on the network. Scott Mills, who left BBC Radio 1 after 24 years at the network, is taking over the 2pm to 4pm slot.
Opening his final show, Wright said: "Last show, bit of pressure, got to make it a good one."
