Vernon Kay said fans of veteran broadcaster Ken Bruce have given him “the best trolling I’ve ever had” ahead of his start at BBC Radio 2 on Monday.
The TV presenter, 49, takes over from Scottish radio presenter Bruce, who announced in January that he would be stepping down from presenting his mid-morning show on the station after 31 years.
The show will run from 9.30am to 12pm every weekday, featuring the daily music quiz Ten To The Top, Tracks Of My Years, the Record and Album Of The Week, and performances from the Radio 2 Piano Room.
