Gaby sat in for Vernon after she revealed that the former Family Fortunes presenter had a sore throat.

She gave fans an update this morning and said: “Gaby in for Vernon Kay. It’s a joy to be here.

“Vernon, I hope your throat is feeling better.

“I was listening yesterday, I love the show but did worry about your throat.

“So take it easy, no talking today.”

Vernon also took to Instagram as told fans he would be missing his regular 9.30am slot.

He shared: “Morning everyone, under doctors orders I’m resting my voice.

“It should be alright tomorrow, but I’m going to slide away from the microphone this morning and just rest the vocal cords.

“They’re a bit strained allegedly, very hoarse.”

But fans won’t have to wait long for Vernon’s return as he confirmed that he will be “back tomorrow”.

ZOE’S BACK

It comes after Radio 2 star Zoe Ball updated listeners on her future on the show as she thanked fans for their support.

The presenter, 53, returned to her show on September 23 after six weeks off air.

Taking to Instagram, she posted: “Grand to be back today with this cracking crew [BBC Radio 2].

“Big thanks to our awesome listeners for the lovely kind messages.”

Zoe added: “Back tomorrow with @gylesbrandreth.”

It comes as she mysteriously “vanished” from her Breakfast show but upon returning to airwaves she asked: “What have I missed?”

Addressing her listeners, Zoe said: “‘Hello happy wanderers, I’ve wandered back.”

In a reassurance to worried fans, the star shared she was “happy” and continued: “Morning gorgeous people it’s me Zoe the happy wanderer.

“I’ve wandered back. How was your Brat summer? Was it marvellous?

“We did that in the 90s it was called something different then.

“I hope you’ve been enjoying some of the gorgeous sunsets over the last few weeks.

“It’s a tad soggy our end this morning. Take it easy out on the road.”

During Zoe’s time away, former BBC Radio 1 DJ Scott Mills had helped fill in.
