He said: “I’ve always listened to Heart from being a kid on the way to school and now getting ready for a night out, so to be presenting my own radio show on the station is a great honour.

“I had to pinch myself when I found out and I can’t wait for my first show.”

Myleene Klass has also joined the network will be hosting her very own festive special, Myleene’s Klass Christmas, on Christmas Eve from midday, featuring exclusive performances from guests including The X Factor’s Ella Henderson.

Klass said: “I’m so excited to be joining the Heart presenter line up.

“To be given my own show, a piano and the chance to work with some incredible people (as well as the seemingly constant supply of mince pies), is a lovely way to get in the Christmas spirit.”

Heart is available in London on 106.2 FM, digital and online.
