‘This is one of the biggest moments of my career so far and I know those of you who have followed me for a longtime will know what this means to me, I’ve kept it kind of quiet what my next step would be after radio but you will be able to see me every Saturday night at 9:15pm on @bbcone starting tonight.
‘A whole Saturday night prime time TV show host is wild, tune in if you can & let me know what you think.’
