The Radio 5 Live host - who has presented shows for Radio 1 and Radio 2 - told fans and listeners in a statement online today, explaining why he has been absent from his regular Saturday show.
Baker, 53, who is also well-known as a scriptwriter for his friend Chris Evans, remained upbeat and said he had been “watching Tommy Steele box sets”.
“Once the quacks have soundly thrashed this thing I shall return like a rare gas and as if out of a trap,” he said.
