He is standing in for Rylan Clark-Neal for two weeks next month.

Kay said: “Really pleased to be filling in for Rylan with my Radio 2 debut!
“What better show to be on than a fun, high energy, Saturday afternoon slot.
“The show and Rylan are friends of the nation and I am delighted to have the opportunity to join in.”
Kay previously worked as a presenter on BBC One, with his own weekend show from 2006 to 2012.
He also presented his own mid-morning show on Radio X from 2015 to 2017.
Clark-Neal took over his Saturday afternoon slot from Zoe Ball in 2019.
Kay will appear on Radio 2 on Saturday February 6 and February 13 from 3pm to 6pm.
