After six amazing years of hosting the BBC Radio 6 Music Breakfast Show, Lauren Laverne has announced that she will be stepping down from her role. Taking her place will be former BBC Radio 1 presenter, Nick Grimshaw, who will officially take over in February. Laverne, who is 46 years old, will be moving to mid-mornings to present a new weekday programme.
This news comes after Laverne took some time away from her show to focus on her battle with cancer. She shared with listeners that it was a tough year for her and at times, she worried if she would be able to return to the station she loves so much. However, she expressed her gratitude for being able to host the show for six wonderful years and shared that it was time to pass the baton on and set her alarm a little later.
During her recovery, Laverne rediscovered the power of music, the importance of surrounding yourself with good people, and the emotional support and joy that radio can bring. She is excited to get back to doing what she loves and sharing her passion with listeners every day.
Last August, Laverne revealed on Instagram that she had been diagnosed with cancer. However, she also shared that it was caught early and she expected to make a full recovery. She credits a screening test for detecting the cancer and urges others to prioritize their health.
