He said: “I’ve been recording loads of music through lockdown. I love to think I can keep singing forever and I will sing for as long as I can. And I hope the fans welcome that.”

Fearne Cotton and Clara Amfo are set to co-host the Christmas and New Years special of the music show, after Clara took over from Reggie Yates in 2017.

And Fearne recently shared her fears that 'Top of the Pops' could have been shelved this year due to the coronavirus pandemic as it has become a “tradition” for families.

She said: “I have my fingers crossed that they will find some sort of socially distanced way to make it happen.

“It’s such a tradition now that you sit down to watch it as a family, and your parents complain how awful pop music is today and then you all go and have your lunch.”
