Graham Norton has announced he is leaving his weekend show on Virgin Radio, telling listeners he 'wanted his weekends back' after 13 years of working Saturdays and Sundays.
The 60-year-old presenter made the announcement during his programme on Saturday, saying his life had changed and he was 'kind of off'. His final weekend broadcast will be on Sunday, though he said he would still 'pop up on the station from time to time'.
Virgin Radio has not named a permanent replacement but Angela Scanlon will step in for the next few weeks. Content director Mike Cass said Norton's 'are big boots to fill, and we'll be announcing the owner of those feet in the weeks to come'.
Norton joined Virgin Radio in 2021 after leaving his BBC Radio 2 show. The station said he would remain 'an integral part of the Virgin Radio family'.
