Lorraine Kelly Takes On Radio 2 This Christmas
24 Nov
Summary
- Lorraine Kelly will make her Radio 2 debut over the festive period.
- She is stepping in to host Jeremy Vine's regular weekday slot.
- This follows recent changes to her ITV show's schedule and duration.
Veteran television presenter Lorraine Kelly is preparing for a new broadcasting venture as she makes her debut on BBC Radio 2 this Christmas. She has been lined up to present the popular Jeremy Vine show during the festive period, offering listeners a fresh voice on the airwaves. This exciting opportunity arrives as Kelly's long-running ITV daytime program, 'Lorraine,' has undergone significant changes.
Earlier this year, ITV announced that Kelly's show would be broadcast for fewer weeks annually and its running time would be halved to 30 minutes. The Glasgow-born presenter, who has been a fixture on television for 40 years, also recently signed a deal with Channel 4 for a new travel series. Despite these shifts, her presence on daytime television remains iconic.
Kelly's foray into radio comes as the BBC unveils its Christmas programming, promising a rich mix of audio content. Kate Phillips, BBC chief content officer, highlighted the goal of bringing people together through audio. Lorraine Kelly's upcoming role on Radio 2 promises to be a highlight of the BBC's festive schedule, engaging audiences with her characteristic warmth and wit.
