Liza Tarbuck exits Radio 2 after 14 years, joins pottery competition show
The presenter of the BBC's Saturday evening show, which drew 2 million listeners, is leaving radio to appear on a celebrity pottery programme.

Liza Tarbuck has departed her Radio 2 Saturday evening show, which she hosted for 14 years, according to The Guardian. The programme drew an audience of 2 million listeners and received approximately 50 messages per minute from listeners, more than any other show on the station, the outlet reports.
Tarbuck told The Guardian she misses aspects of the role, including curating the playlist and engaging with listeners. She has since joined the cast of a celebrity pottery competition show, the report states.
