Vernon has spoken out
Vernon Kay has opened up during a chat with Zoe Ball on Radio 2 after it was announced that he will be long-running host Ken Bruce's replacement for the BBC station.
It comes as Bruce announced on Friday that he has been told to leave the BBC earlier than planned on March 3. He tweeted: “I will be presenting my last show on Radio 2 next Friday. “It is part of us, it is in our DNA – Ken Bruce is mid-mornings. You don’t think of any other DJ when you think of that slot.
“It is part of us, it is in our DNA. Ken Bruce is mid-mornings. You don’t think of any other DJ when you think of that slot- he's made it his own. He's an absolute legend of broadcaster." He said: “One of the best things that has happened in the past few days is every single person on Radio 2 has messaged me and sent me an amazing either a voicemail, email, a Whatsapp… just saying how overjoyed that I’m joining the family… I’m getting quite emotional.”
