Ronan Keating to leave Magic Breakfast

Magic Breakfast co-host Ronan Keating is leaving the show after seven years on-air at the Bauer station.

Ronan made the announcement on the show this morning, saying he’s going to get back to concentrating on his music.
He said: “It’s been very difficult to come to this decision. I have loved every single minute and this has not been an easy decision at all.
“It was an honour to be in people’s homes, but I’ve missed doing the school run and waking up with my wife in the morning!”
He went on to thank all his producers and show team past and present and big up his co-host Harriet as a radio legend.
His last show will be on 31st July, but he’ll still host ad-hoc shows in the future, including weekends throughout August.
Harriet Scott will remain on the show and a new co-host will be announced in the coming weeks. […]
