Alison Hammond will replace Rylan Clark-Neal on his popular BBC Radio 2 show.

The bubbly This Morning presenter, 45, will take over from Big Brother presenter Rylan, 31, while he takes a well deserved break.

Rylan has called in a huge favour from his former This Morning co-worker as he will take some time to rest and recuperate over the next three weeks.

Making the announcement on Twitter on Tuesday evening, Alison insisted that she could not wait to fill Rylan’s boots temporarily..

The telly star penned: “I’ll be keeping Rylan’s shoes warm on @BBCRadio2 this Saturday.

“If you fancy a little Ali love come and join us. I’ve got some fab tunes lined up to see you through,” Alison added.

Suggesting that he’s not going to be too far away from his workplace, Rylan replied, “I can’t wait to listen.”

The former X Factor contestant has been incredibly busy throughout lockdown while appearing on Celebrity Gogglebox alongside his beloved mum.

Now, he’s finally taking a well-deserved break after he recently confirmed that he had just wrapped the second series of Supermarket Sweep.

Taking to Twitter, Rylan teased that the brand new series will be on the way ‘very soon’.

Rylan took over from Zoe Ball’s hosting slot the BBC Radio 2 Saturday morning show following his departure from This Morning.

Since then, he has built up a reputable audience who tune in each week to hear him discuss his hilarious life encounters and mishaps.

The telly star was recently left mortified after his mum Linda blurted out his real name during an awkward moment on Celebrity Gogglebox.

Viewers were left baffled when Linda accidentally called her son Ross instead of Rylan during a family bickering session.

As it turns out, the telly star opted to forego the name Ross and use Rylan instead – and there’s no denying that it’s worked out rather well for him.
