Chart star Lily Allen, who this week agreed her latest releases were "pop rubbish", has been signed up as a BBC Radio 2 DJ.
The 28-year-old (right) – who relaunched her pop career late last year after opting out of the spotlight for a number of years – is stepping in for Dermot O'Leary to host his regular weekend show.
She has recorded a three-hour show to be broadcast this Saturday as she gears up for the release of her third album Sheezus.
Allen said: "I've been a guest on Dermot's show loads of times, and I've been secretly plotting to take his place, so am very pleased I will have the studio all to myself."
