I can’t wait to get stuck in.”

Nick Grimshaw adds: “I’m so excited to be able to spend time together discussing the week in music, from the sublime to the ridiculous.”

Lorna Clarke, BBC Director of Music comments: “It’s great that Annie and Nick are back in the BBC family with their unique sense of fun and passion for music.
