In view of his 113,000 followers, Bill tweeted: “Roll over Beethoven – BIll Turnbull’s back @Classicfm! Yes, I’m returning to host the most exciting classical music show on the airwaves this Saturday from 10 till 1. Don’t miss it!”

“Woohoo! I’ll be there,” @LynneFe commented, while @kirkkathy added: “Great news Billy.”

It comes after Bill told listeners in October he was taking some time away from the show.

The broadcaster, who lives with incurable prostate cancer, said at the time it was “with great regret” that he would be taking “a leave of absence… for health reasons”.

He explained: “The road has been a bit bumpy recently, and I need to take some time to focus on getting better.

Bil, 63, said he was “sorry to do this, as I absolutely love doing the programme”.

“I am very grateful to friends and colleagues [at global] for the love and support they have shown me,” he added.
