Julian has hosted the breakfast show on BBC Radio Solent, which is broadcast across Hampshire, Isle of Wight and Dorset, since 1997.

BBC reports that he said: ‘I'm going to be 60 on 5 December, and that is going to be my last breakfast show and my last show on BBC Radio Solent.

‘I don't want the next four months to be a big goodbye - we'll have plenty of time for goodbyes, but thank you for being a wonderful audience.’
