Radio legend Tony Blackburn has missed his regular show on BBC Radio 2 after falling ill. Tony, 80, usually presents Sounds of the 60s between 6am and 8am on Saturdays and Golden Hour on Sundays.
Taking to Twitter to explain his absence, Tony wrote: "Sorry to say I won’t be doing my shows over the weekend as I have a very annoying virus which is taking its time to go away. Tomorrow on Sounds Of The Sixties you will hear my special “Happy Birthday show” and on Sunday there will be a recorded Golden Hour. Have a great evening."
Tony Blackburn was the inaugural king of the jungle when he was crowned winner of I'm A Celebrity in 2002. Known to millions as a BBC radio presenter, he triumphed over socialite Tara Palmer-Tomkinson.
