Paul O'Grady fans threaten BBC Radio 2 boycott after presenter taken off-air
BBC Radio 2 listeners have fumed that beloved presenter Paul O’Grady has been taken off-air until May despite rising listening figures.It has been confirmed that the 66-year-old presenter has been replaced with comedian Rob Beckett, 36, as he prepares to take over Paul’s Sunday evening slot from 5pm – 7pm.Loyal fans of the show have shared their fury on social media with many vowing to “switch off” the show until the loveable Cheshire presenter returns to the show.In a lengthy statement on Instagram, Paul shared a sweet snap with his perfect pooch Sausage as he prepared to host his final Radio 2 show for “quite some time.”Alongside the gorgeous snap, he wrote: “I’m doing my best to look benign but Sausage has just spotted Nancy dragging a tea towel down the hall and as you can see she wants a bit of the action.“It’s my last Radio2 Sunday show for quite some time, our listening figures have shot up so a great big thank you to everyone who listens.“While I'm on the subject I'd also like to thank my producer ( sounds very grand ) Malcom Prince who is one of the best in the business and hasn’t cracked once in the 14 years we’ve been on air."The TV star insisted that the change to the regular radio schedule was solely down to a management decision made by BBC bosses.He explained: “There’s a new regime now, I do 13 weeks on and then 13 weeks off which is nothing to do with me as it’s a management decision.“So, all being well and providing I'm not in India or Borneo, travel restrictions permitting, I should be back some time in May. Take it easy.
