Graham Norton bids an emotional goodbye to his listeners as he hosts his last show on Virgin Radio a day after announcing his shock departure: 'Thank you for sharing your lives'

Graham Norton has kicked off his last weekend show on Virgin Radio, saying: 'Here we go, one last gallop around the paddock.'

Norton read out a number of messages from listeners who said they would miss him, with one admitting they were 'distraught' but hoped he enjoys the lie-ins, to which he responded: 'I will, getting out of bed this morning was so lovely, thinking 'I won't be doing this next week'.' His long-standing presenting partner Maria McErlane will also join him for another edition of Graham's Guide, which sees the pair try to help listeners find a solution to their problems. Before launching into Dua Lipa's new single Houdini, he said: 'This lady was on my chat show on Friday night and I was so impressed with her, she's so effortlessly charming, but clearly bright and has a vision and has a determination, and she deserves all the success she is enjoying.'
