The fateful day has slowly crept up on us and Steve Wright will present his final afternoon show on BBC Radio 2 on Friday, September 30. The 68-year-old radio personality has held the coveted Radio 2 slot for more 23 years, for this current stint, presenting Steve Wright In The Afternoon. But who will be taking over? Read on to find out.
In July, Wright confirmed he'd be stepping down from his Radio 2 afternoon presenting duties. In a heartfelt message posted to the network's Twitter account, Wright said: “In advance of our last SWITA show for a while, I just wanted to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has taken the trouble to listen at any point over the past 23 years.
"I personally would like to say what a privilege it’s been bringing you great choons, conversation information, entertainment, high humour and of course great guests. I know I have been extremely lucky to do this work and have never taken it for granted."
