After seven years co-hosting Magic Breakfast with Harriet Scott, Ronan Keating presented his last show this morning.
Ronan announced he was stepping back from the show in June, saying it had been a difficult decision, but he wants to spend more time with his family and to concentrate on his music.
During the show he performed his song When You Say Nothing At All and a version of George Michael’s Faith.
He finished by admitting that the reality of leaving was really hitting him now and he couldn’t believe it had lasted seven years, but it had been so much fun.
Thanking Harriet, he told her she had taught him so much and wished her good luck, calling her a radio legend.
He also thanked listeners and said he’ll be around and will come back to say hi every now and then.
As he finished the show, colleagues from Magic Radio and sister Bauer stations lined the corridors to applaud him as he exited the building.
A replacement for Ronan hasn’t been announced yet, but for the timebeing the show will be Harriet and friends at Breakfast with Gok Wan popping for a few days, as will Will Young and then Nick Snaith is doing some cover for the summer holidays.
Seven incredible years and we’ve loved each day 💙
