DJ Tony Blackburn is to return to BBC Radio 1 almost 20 years after leaving - for one day only to co-host a show with afternoon presenter Chris Moyles.
The veteran star, who helped launch Radio 1 in 1967, was once a firm favourite on the station when his breakfast show attracted up to 20 million listeners.
He will return when Moyles' usual sidekick, "Comedy" Dave Lloyd Vitty, is away taking part in a charity challenge for Comic Relief.
Blackburn has enjoyed a revival since winning reality TV show I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here in September 2002.
He will appear on Moyles' 3-5:45pm show on 10 March.
A spokesman for Blackburn said: "I'm sure he'll teach Chris a few tricks. He enjoys listening to Chris' show."
Moyles is lining up guest co-presenters for Comic Relief week as his regular sidekick tours the UK's 92 league football grounds for the charity.
