Fearne Cotton is moving to BBC Radio 2 this summer for a new show co-hosted by Martin Kemp.

The duo will take over from Graham Norton as he has the summer off, taking to the airwaves on Saturdays between July 9 and September 10.

Described as a "lively show of banter, good music and top guests", the pair will look at offbeat stories from the past week and be joined by two celebrity guests each week.

There will also be phone-ins that give fans a chance to talk to the guests on air, as well as occasional live acoustic performances.

Cotton said: "I can't wait to get back on the radio, so to be presenting on Radio 2 this summer on Saturday mornings with Martin Kemp is going to be absolutely brilliant."
