I will miss our amazing guests, our brilliant listeners and the one and only Sally Traffic. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;The truth is my children are growing up inordinately\u00a0fast\u00a0so I have decided to follow them around at home before they leave for good. I\u2019m incredibly grateful to everyone who works on the show, I\u00a0will continue to visit with badly made biscuits and will pester the bosses to present the odd special. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;I couldn\u2019t be happier that Romesh is taking over Saturday mornings on Radio 2. He is brilliantly laugh out loud funny, and I\u2019ll listen every single week as\u00a0my kids beg me to leave them alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>READ MORE ON CLAUDIA<\/h2>\n<p><source media=\"(-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/NINTCHDBPICT000841438644-6.jpg\"><source data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/NINTCHDBPICT000841438644-6.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/NINTCHDBPICT000841438644-6.jpg\"><\/picture><span>WALTZ OFF <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Claudia Winkleman reveals Strictly Come Dancing schedule shake up tomorrow<\/h3>\n<p><source media=\"(-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 1.5)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/newspress-collage-24558297-1698516436958.jpg\"><source data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/newspress-collage-24558297-1698516436958.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/newspress-collage-24558297-1698516436958.jpg\"><\/picture><span>dancing on <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Strictly hosts Tess and Claudia address Amanda Abbington&#x27;s show exit live on air<\/h3>\n<p>Claudia is officially stepping down in March and Romesh will take over the 10am-1pm window in April.<\/p>\n<p>Award-winning Romesh, who also hosts The Weakest Link, said of his new gig:\u00a0\u201cIn my many years working as a maths teacher thinking \u2018what would happen if I gave this up\u2019, I never imagined I\u2019d be sandwiched between Dermot O\u2019Leary and Steve Wright on the UK\u2019s most popular radio station every Saturday morning. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;I\u2019m grateful to Claud for wanting to spend more time with her kids, and enabling me to spend less time with mine, and I look forward to finding out what the nation is up to at that time, as well as speaking to some familiar faces.
