Graham Norton set to host a weekend show on Virgin Radio

Graham Norton is joining Virgin Radio to host a weekend show.

The announcement comes after the presenter revealed he was leaving BBC Radio 2.

Norton 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?”

The chat show host will present his last BBC Radio 2 programme on December 19, ten years after his first Saturday morning show for the station.

Norton joined Radio 2 in October 2010 to host the 10am – 1pm slot on Saturdays, taking over from Jonathan Ross.

Over the years his guests have included Kylie Minogue, JK Rowling, David Tennant and Tina Turner.
