Sara Cox has officially signed off from her BBC Radio 2 teatime show, marking the end of an era as she prepares for a major career move to the station’s coveted Breakfast slot.
The 51-year-old presenter shared emotional behind-the-scenes moments from her final show, revealing she rounded off her last day with a celebratory dinner at The Devonshire in Soho alongside her production team.
Sara marked the milestone with a relaxed and joyful send-off, enjoying a non-alcoholic Guinness while reflecting on what she described as “seven and a half years of silliness” on the beloved teatime programme.
Taking to Instagram, she thanked listeners for their support, joking that the show’s signature “daftness and chaos” would continue — just in a brand new morning format when she takes over the Breakfast show later this year.
Her final broadcast included music, memories, and heartfelt gratitude, as she encouraged loyal fans to follow her into the next chapter of her BBC journey.
Sara is set to replace Scott Mills on the flagship Breakfast slot, stepping into one of radio’s most high-profile roles after years of success on drivetime.
The move marks a full-circle moment in her broadcasting career — and a fresh start in the early morning spotlight.
