British TV presenter Emma Willis has been named as the new host of BBC Radio 2's Saturday lunchtime show, taking over from Zoe Ball from January 2026.

Willis commented 'I'm a huge fan of Radio 2, so I'm absolutely chuffed to be joining the family - and it's a real honour to follow in the huge footsteps Zoe leaves behind, who's someone I admire and adore. I'm very much looking forward to spending my Saturday lunchtimes with the Radio 2 audience'.
