Singer and West End star Michael Ball will take over a new Sunday Love Songs show on BBC Radio 2, it has been announced, following the death of popular presenter Steve Wright earlier this year.
“I’d also like to thank Nicki Chapman for presenting brilliant editions of Sunday Love Songs for the past few weeks.”
“Steve made Love Songs ‘appointment to listen’ radio,” Ball, 61, said in a statement.
Wright was one of Radio 2’s most popular long-serving hosts, and presented Love Songs even after he stepped down from the channel in September 2022.
