BBC Radio 2 has been in the midst of a major shake-up to its roster of talent recently, as legendary DJ Ken Bruce was asked to leave earlier than expected this week. On her popular slot this morning, Zoe Ball shared her fears over having limited time left on the station.
Speaking to her co-star Vernon Kay this morning, Zoe discussed if the husband of Tess Daly would make 31 years on the station in the same way veteran Ken did.
Vernon quipped: “I’ll be 85 then!”
Zoe responded: “You’ll be 85 then…I always think I will be lucky if I last the next two years, let alone 31.”
It comes after Ken claimed he had been forced to leave the BBC earlier than he had intended, with his final Radio 2 show scheduled for next week rather than at the end of March.
The 71-year-old Scottish broadcasting veteran will present his final 9.30am-to-midday show on March 3.
He wrote on Twitter: “I will be presenting my last show on Radio 2 next Friday.
“I had intended fulfilling my contract until the end of March but the BBC has decided it wants me to leave earlier.
“Let’s enjoy the week ahead!”
