He said: "Radio was my first love as a broadcaster and where it all began for my on-air career.

"I can't wait to return with talkRADIO, reviewing the week's biggest stories and unpicking the issues with some big name guests too.

"As with all of my shows, audiences can expect open, honest opinion, a direct approach and no doubt a few a disagreements along the way."
