Graham Norton lined up for Jonathan Ross's BBC Radio 2 show

The BBC have lined up Graham Norton as the replacement for Jonathan Ross when he steps down from his BBC Radio 2 slot in a deal which would make the Irish comedian one of the most prominent faces in the corporation.

Norton has been stepping in as a replacement DJ in a number of Radio 2 shows in the last few weeks and is set to cover for Chris Evans when he takes a break shortly. 

Norton is expected to make £225,000 a year if he takes up the three-hour long slot, which runs from 10am – 1pm on Saturday mornings.

Norton took a £500,000 pay cut when he signed a new deal with the BBC earlier this year.

The news of Norton’s slot was leaked by early morning DJ Sarah Kennedy, who told listeners, that the comedian was to be given a show last week. "I've just learned Graham Norton is joining us full-time on Radio 2. That'll be nice," she said.

A Radio 2 spokeswoman said: "Radio 2 is currently considering its options regarding the new host of the Saturday morning slot.
