Who will be the next presenter of the BBC Radio 2 breakfast show

Settled as Chris Evans

Background: Wake Up To Wogan is the most popular breakfast radio programme in the UK with almost 8 million listeners a week.

He won't be there forever though and there's long been speculation as to who will take over once he gives up the microphone.

Will it be Radio 2 colleagues Chris Evans, Ken Bruce or Jonathan Ross or will Simon Mayo's planned move from Radio 5 Live see him taking the breakfast slot? Or will Richard Hammond be tempted away from telly after a few fill-in stints at Radio 2?

Or will it be someone else from Radio 2 (a regular presenter not one who occasionally fills in) or someone from elsewhere?

Settlement details:As reported by the BBC - via their press office or bbc.co.uk/news website
