He said: “Just a little update to say I’ve done my two and a half weeks in isolation.

“Feeling a lot better, and the great news is I can come back and do the radio show this Sunday.

“I have missed it so much and I can’t wait to be there, to hopefully put a smile on your face, play some great music and catch up with you all.”

He added that he hoped listeners are “staying safe” and “staying positive” during the pandemic.
