Comedian and actor Romesh Ranganathan will take over the Saturday morning slot.
Claudia Winkleman has announced she is stepping down from hosting her Saturday morning BBC Radio 2 show next year.
After three years of presenting from 10am to 1pm, the broadcaster announced on the show on December 2 that she will present her last edition in March.
Comedian and actor Romesh Ranganathan, who currently hosts a show on the station from midnight to 1am on Saturdays, will next over Winkleman’s timeslot in April.
Winkleman said: “I absolutely love Radio 2 and it’s been a privilege to host the Saturday morning show for three years.
“I will miss our amazing guests, our brilliant listeners and the one and only Sally Traffic.
“The truth is my children are growing up inordinately fast so I have decided to follow them around at home before they leave for good.
“I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who works on the show, I will continue to visit with badly made biscuits and will pester the bosses to present the odd special.
“I couldn’t be happier that Romesh is taking over Saturday mornings on Radio 2.
“He is brilliantly laugh out loud funny, and I’ll listen every single week as my kids beg me to leave them alone.”
