Mel Giedroyc returns to Magic Radio to host request show

Eurovision presenter and former Bake Off host Mel Giedroyc is to present a live, Sunday morning request show on Magic Radio from January.

This is a return to the station for Mel, who previously presented a Saturday afternoon show from 2016 – 2018.

Mel said: “I am overjoyed to be back in the bosom of my Magic Radio family and can’t wait to spend Sunday mornings with our lovely listeners from January next year.

“Join me for a chat about the week you’ve just had or what’s to come in your week ahead and whether you’re celebrating, commiserating or just want to hear some brilliant music I’ll be there! Can’t wait.”

Paul Sylvester, Magic Radio Content Director commented: “Mel epitomises the Magic audience in terms of her outlook on life. She’s brilliantly funny, warm and engaging. She loves our music and is the perfect friend to spend Sunday mornings with. I think this show will become a stand-out in the schedule and a real appointment-to-listen.”

As previously announced, Lynn Parsons will be moving to Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings to host Mellow Magic when Nicki Chapman joins the station in January. The same month will also see Gok Wan as the new co-host of the Magic Radio Breakfast Show.

Mel’s new show will be on air every Sunday from 10am on Sunday 12 January.
