As she began hosting a new mid-morning programme, the presenter said: “Thank you for welcoming me home, and letting me be myself here on 6 Music, it feels so good to be back, good morning and cheers to Grimmy (Nick) for a sensational breakfast show so let’s get going should we?”.
Laverne did make a comeback to recording for BBC Radio 4’s interview programme Desert island Discs, and BBC One talk show The One Show last year.
Lauren Laverne returned to presenting duties on BBC Radio 6 Music, saying it was “wonderful” to be back home at the station following an absence of around six months.
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.
She is taking over from former BBC Radio 6 Music mid-mornings host Mary Anne Hobbs, who is set to move to a new show in the spring.
