Michael Ball will take over Sir Terry Wogan’s slot on BBC Radio 2.
The singer and broadcaster will host The Michael Ball Show from 11am-1pm every Sunday, replacing Weekend Wogan following the star’s death back in January.
Ball, 53, who currently hosts a programme in the later Sunday time slot of 7-9pm, will launch the new show on April 10.
He said: “I feel so honoured to have been asked to return to Sunday mornings on BBC Radio 2.
"I learned so much from my great friend and mentor Sir Terry Wogan. He was simply the best.”
Lewis Carnie, Radio 2's head of programmes, said: “Terry was such a huge part of our audience's lives for so long that finding another presenter to fill that particular slot was always going to be difficult.
