Hector O’hEochagain has returned to radio, warming up for Anton Savage in Ray D’Arcy’s old slot on Today FM.
While Anton has been announced as Ray’s official replacement, Hector is taking over the hot seat in the mean time.
The radio presenter was famously “axed” by RTE 2fm director Dan Healy and has since vowed never to return to the station that made him a star.
