Former Radio 2 presenter Sir Jimmy Young will present a special Christmas Day show on BBC Radio Gloucestershire.

The pre-recorded programme will air on the station between midday and 2pm on Christmas Day, and will be repeated between 1-3pm on New Year's Eve.

BBC Radio Gloucestershire's editor, Mark Hurrell, said:

"It's really exciting to have such a legendary broadcaster as Sir Jimmy joining us on BBC Radio Gloucestershire for this special show over Christmas.

"It'll provide our listeners with a rare insight into the world of one of the nation's best-loved broadcasters.

"After starting out from Gloucestershire many years ago, it'll be great to have him back broadcasting to the county!"
