BBC Radio 2 listeners are insisting they are going to switch off after the broadcaster replaced Paul O’Grady.
The star’s popular BBC Radio 2 series has been taken off the air and won’t be on again until May.
Paul, 66, has filled the 5-7pm slot on a Sunday since 2009 with his show Paul O’Grady on the Wireless.
His show will now only run for 13 weeks at a time, with comedian Rob Beckett filling in when he’s off the air.
As a result of the news, fans have taken to social media to lash out at the BBC over the decision.
BBC Radio 2 listeners hit out at Paul O’Grady being axed
One angry fan ranted: “What were you thinking of by cutting Paul O’Grady’s radio programme on Radio 2 to only basically half of the year? Having Rob Beckett instead is a completely wrong decision.
“I had to switch the radio off when he sat in for Claudia Winkleman. You need to rethink.”
