Radio presenter Ken Bruce: I don’t think anybody likes to see their private affairs plastered across the newspapers
The radio presenter talks retirement, PopMaster, the BBC and his band, No Direction.
He may be 73, but popular radio presenter Ken Bruce is not ready to hang up his headphones just yet.
“Not willingly,” he joshes. “Doing a daily programme is not a massive strain but it does require you to be on peak form. I don’t want to get to a Joe Biden stage. If I feel I’m not doing a job to my own satisfaction, then I probably will retire.
“At the moment I feel quite happy, but I’m aware of not going on too long. If I start to feel that people have had enough of me, then I’ll go.”
If figures are anything to go by – four million listeners tune in to his Greatest Hits Radio show – that won’t be happening
