Graham Norton has landed a new weekend slot on Virgin Radio after leaving BBC radio 2 last week.
The Irish broadcaster, 57, announced he was stepping down after a decade at BBC Radio 2 last week, with his final show airing on December 19.
And while he said he was 'sad' to leave the station, he admitted his new weekend gig on Virgin Radio was ‘too good to miss out on’.
The popular talk show host, based in the UK, said: “I am excited and a little surprised to be joining Virgin Radio UK in 2021.
“I was very content where I was but the opportunity to host shows across the weekend seemed too good to miss out on.
“Plus the energy and enthusiasm at Virgin Radio are infectious and I can’t wait to get started! Did I mention the studios are very close to my house?,” he added.
The Cork native's new Saturday and Sunday weekly shows will kick off on Virgin Radio in the new year.
Graham has picked up almost every TV award going throughout his decades on screen, including numerous BAFTAs, National Television Awards, and International Emmys.
And despite making the move on the airwaves, he confirmed he will be continuing The Graham Norton Show on BBC1.
It comes as Graham has previously mentioned cutting back on his work load as he gets older.
The multi BAFTA winning TV presenter has been hosting the iconic Eurovision Song Contest for over a decade, and most recently, appeared as a judge on the smash hit RuPaul’s Drag Race UK.
He is also a Sunday Times Bestselling author of two hugely successful memoirs and three critically acclaimed novels.
