Last week (January 17) , Peter posted: “I haven’t felt properly well physically since Christmas Day and been battling through in a very Silly Man/’l’m Not Ill’ sort of way.
“Today a wall of flu-like symptoms have downed me. I’m not broadcasting again until at least Tuesday, to rest and recover. (Mental health all good).”
Although it has yet to be revealed which presenter will replace him, Nick de Bois took over his weekend slot with a three-hour show from 10am on Sunday and then a two-hour and 30-minute show on Saturday.
