Vernon Kay promised it will be “more of the same” ahead of his first mid-morning weekday BBC Radio 2 show today. The TV presenter, 49, took over the slot from veteran broadcaster Ken Bruce, who helmed the programme for 31 years.
Appearing from the Radio 2 studio, he told BBC Breakfast: “I’m very, very excited. The BBC Radio 2 audience are very faithful and nothing has changed apart from the voice behind the microphone and I can’t wait to get started at 9.30 on the dot.”
Asked if he gets nervous, he said: “It’s only talking, it’s a skill the majority of us were born with. I think it’s that connection with the audience, the bond that you have, fingers crossed people will stay with us.”
