But She Said she wanted to spend more time with Her Daughter , who is getting ready to leave home.

Romesh Ranganathan , The Actor and comedian, will take over The Slot after Winkleman steps down in March.

Announcing her departure live on air, she apologised to listeners for what she called " such a boring cliché".

But she added: " Time Is going too fast, My Daughter is getting ready to leave home and she was three about Five Minutes ago.

" I still have a little one who wants to be with me, don't know how long that will last, and I just need to be At Home more.

" So my news at 10 is that I Am leaving. "

In 2014, Winkleman's Daughter - Then aged Eight - sustained burns when her Halloween costume caught fire.

Reflecting on The Incident later, " She went up, is the only way I know How To describe it. It was not like fire I had seen before. "

Ranganathan will present his first show in April.

Winkleman, who took over the Saturday show three years ago, described Ranganathan As One of the " funniest and smartest people on earth".
