Rylan Clark's four-word message as he's 'replaced' on BBC Radio 2 after famous face's announcement

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Rylan Clark has shared a simple but supportive message as he's replaced on his popular BBC Radio 2 show. Listeners are used to hearing the TV and radio star's Essex tones on the airwaves every Saturday afternoon.

Rylan took over Zoe Ball’s Saturday afternoon slot on Radio 2 when she moved to present the station’s breakfast show in 2019.

But this Saturday (November 2), the 36-year-old was nowhere to be heard as he takes a break. While it's not clear when exactly Rylan will be back, Nick Grimshaw confirmed he'd been taking over and listeners would hear him on and off over the next couple of months.

"Continuing my substitute teacher role I’ll see you this weekend from 3 and then on & off for the next couple of months.

How fun! (Slide 3 is me when I found out the news)." Then ahead of his usual show starting at 3pm, Rylan took to Instagram and typed across a black backdrop in a post to his Story: "Have a great show @nicholasgrimshaw," alongside a red heart emoji.
