Paul O’Grady takes his Christmas Day show to Boom Radio

The former Radio 2 host’s popular Christmas Day show will be heard on Boom Radio this year.

O’Grady left his weekly Radio 2 Sunday show in August and his festive programme had become a huge part of the Christmas lunch tradition. This will be the first time in 13 years that the special show is heard on a different station.

Presenting the show on Boom Radio at midday on Christmas Day from his home, Paul will be joined by Malcolm Prince — his long-suffering producer —as usual.

O’Grady commented: “Looking forward to being back on the wireless for Christmas Day lunch with the usual unpredictable mayhem! Malcolm and I have been missing you all so I hope you will find us in our latest radio home at Boom.”

Boom Co-founder David Lloyd said: “This is an absolute coup for Boom and we’re delighted Paul is joining us. So many of our listeners told us how much they missed hearing Paul on the radio, and how much he’d feel at home with the atmosphere on our station because we play music for their generation.”
