Vernon has since hosted many high profile entertainment TV shows including All Star Family Fortunes and Splash! for ITV, Just the Two of Us (alongside his wife, Tess Daly) and The World’s Greatest Elvis.
Following the announcement, fans were quick to comment. "Love Vernon on the radio. Loved him on Radio 1! Think R2 should give him a full-time post! Also, he should be the presenter of Family Fortunes again," remarked one, while another said: "Great, please bring him back permanently."
