Gaby Roslin steps in for Zoe Ball
Gaby Roslin happily returned to the early morning slot on BBC Radio 2 today as her colleague Zoe Ball took a week off work to recuperate from Glastonbury at home.
Introducing the show today, Gaby said welcomed her co-stars Tina Daheley and Richie Anderson, as she said: "Good morning to you, Gaby Roslin in for Zoe Ball.
"How are you on this 3rd July, when you look out of the window it's September, but that's the only mention we're going to have of the weather, stop, that's it," as Tina joked: "It's out of your system."
Gaby replied: "Yeah I think you just have to have that little bit out, once it is out, it is done."
Richie chimed in: "Are you embracing because I find that when you have like this, and then you get a bit of sun, it makes you appreciate it more."
Tina responded: "I appreciate all weather! I just wish the drizzle wouldn't linger," as Gaby jumped in: "That's it, we're not going to mention it at all."
Gaby is stepping in for Zoe this week, typically hosts the Radio 2 breakfast show every weekday from 6:30 am to 9:30 am, taking over from Chris Evans at the beginning of 2019.
Earlier this year, Zoe took time off from BBC Radio due to her mother's cancer diagnosis. Her mother, Julia, passed away in April, and Gaby covered for Zoe during her absence.
Zoe is taking a well-earned break after covering Glastonbury, as she covered the famous music festival for BBC Radio 2 with travel presenter Richie Anderson and newsreader Tina Daheley.

Some listeners on Instagram praised Zoe's festival coverage, while others complained about the extensive Glastonbury coverage on the radio.
One fumed: "Why do the news and travel reporters have to be there? Are there any (publicly funded) BBC employees NOT at Glastonbury? @bbcradio2 @bbc."
Another argued: "One reason to turn off Radio 2 .... banging on about Glastonbury 24 hours a day."
Zoe's son, Woody, who she shares with DJ Fatboy Slim, performed at the festival. Last year, he performed four sets at Glastonbury and crowd-surfed during his dad's gig.
The presenter has shared her fears about not being able to attend the event after suffering an accident in the shower which saw her tooth fall out, as she shared the horror story with listeners.
