Lauren Laverne has returned to presenting duties on BBC Radio 6 Music, following her departure from her breakfast show.
She announced in January that former BBC Radio 1 presenter Nick Grimshaw would take over her 6 Music breakfast slot as she moved to mid-mornings.
Grimshaw started his first breakfast show on Monday on 6 Music, saying he had been “overthinking”, and was “getting stressed out”.
Before starting her programme at 10am on Monday, Laverne told Grimshaw: “It feels fantastic, I’ve been so excited, it’s … nervous energy (and) just excitement to get going.
