Comedian and radio presenter Greg Burns is to host a new Saturday morning show across the Hits Radio Network.

He currently hosts the breakfast show with Fleur East and James Barr – but the trio will be adding a  9am Saturday slot from this weekend.

It will include a rerun of some of the content that aired in the week’s breakfast shows.
