Miranda Hart and Jon Holmes will return to Radio 2 for a week in October, fronting the station's popular breakfast show.

Regular presenter Chris Evans will be on holiday between Monday 3rd and Friday 7th October this year, when Hart and Holmes will present the 3-hour breakfast programme from 6:30am.

Miranda commented: "There aren't many people I am happy to spend the breakfast hours with, but I can't think of anyone nicer than the Radio 2 massive and my colleague Jon Holmes and his ridiculous bed head. Can't wait."

The duo have already proved a hit on the station, presenting a number of one-off Bank Holiday programmes since the start of the year, the most recent of which was broadcast on Monday 29th August.

Jon Holmes said of the news: "I'm looking forward to waking up between Miranda on one side and the entire nation on the other. That promises to be quite some party the night before."

Hart's popular BBC Two sitcom Miranda, which returns for a third series on BBC One next year, originated as a BBC Radio 2 sitcom, Miranda Hart's Joke Shop.
