The 48-year-old presenter, who first joined the BBC in 2004, said it's a 'dream come true' to be handed the microphone to host the mid-morning show. Bruce will present his final 9.30am to midday show on March 3, and Kay will start on May 8 with Gary Davies filling in the gap. The DJ will bring in a new weekday pop quiz to replace PopMaster, as well as continuing his own radio show from 2018. His wife Tess Daly will be celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary this year. Helen Thomas, head of Radio 2, praised Vernon for being a 'talented, warm and witty host' who has already proved to be a favorite with listeners. Scott Mills said he was 'thrilled' to have Vern on board and that he will be 'brilliant'.
