Mark Wright will launch a huge new weekend show, bringing the biggest party tunes to Heart’s 10m weekly listeners every Saturday from 4pm before Heart’s Club Classics kicks off at 7pm.

In a new signing for Global, radio presenter Yasmin Evans joins Heart as the new host of Sunday afternoons. Yasmin said: “I’m so excited to be joining Heart in the new year. I can’t wait to get to know the listeners and connect with them on a Sunday. Whether they’re chilling out, cooking a roast or working, I’ll bring them all the good vibes they need in the afternoon. I’m really looking forward to being a part of the Global family.”

Lindsey Russell, best-known for her 8-year stint hosting ‘Blue Peter’, also joins the Heart family, to present Saturdays and Sundays from 1am – 6am. Lindsey said: “I couldn’t be more excited to be joining the Global family. After nearly a decade in TV, this is my first ever radio show, and it’s so special to be joining a team of so many radio legends who I’ve looked up to and listened to for years. This is a dream come true!”

Katrina Ridley and Rezzy Ghadjar, two of Heart’s most exciting rising stars, land new shows on the UK’s biggest commercial radio brand. Katrina takes the reins of the Sunday early breakfast show, and Rezzy becomes the new host of show Friday and Saturday nights from 11pm – 1am.

Elsewhere, Heart’s Club Classics will now run from 7pm through to the extended time of 11pm on both Friday and Saturday nights.

“Our new schedule for 2022 puts our listeners right at the heart of everything we do, from Dev Griffin dialling up the feel-good on weeknight evenings, to the King of Saturday Night, Mark Wright, bringing a big new sound to weekends.

Yasmin Evans and Lindsey Russell are fantastic talent, bringing loads of energy and fun and perfect for Heart. Two of our rising stars Rezzy Ghadjar and Katrina Ridley have proved a real hit with listeners so I’m incredibly pleased they’ve now got their own shows.” - HEART’S MANAGING EDITOR ANDY EVERETT
