Liza Tarbuck, who hosted a popular Saturday evening show on BBC Radio 2 for 14 years, has shared her thoughts on leaving the station and her upcoming television projects. Her program, which attracted two million listeners and received more messages than any other show on the station, became a favorite among fans for its humor, running jokes, and unique segments that involved the audience. Tarbuck was known for her playful interactions with the 7pm news bulletin, adding a distinctive flair to her show. The final episode aired in January, but her departure was officially confirmed in March when she posted a heartfelt, handwritten goodbye on Instagram. Tarbuck is part of a wave of talent leaving BBC Radio 2 in recent years, following other notable hosts like Ken Bruce, Zoe Ball, Simon Mayo, and the late Paul O’Grady. Now, Tarbuck is returning to television to host The Great Celebrity Pottery Throw Down, a new twist on Channel 4’s popular ceramic competition. The show features six celebrities who take on the challenge of creating various pottery items, from raku animals to garden gnomes, over five weeks. Tarbuck has praised the show’s judges, Keith Brymer Jones and Rich Miller, for their expertise and support. She has also highlighted how the process of making pottery can be both emotionally and mentally therapeutic for the participants. The series includes personal stories and moments of growth, such as a contestant’s confession about having cancer and others sharing experiences with managing ADHD. Looking ahead, Tarbuck has expressed interest in future projects, including a show similar to Time Team, which would involve exploring historical sites across the British Isles. She emphasized the value of staying creative and open to new opportunities, whether in television, radio, or platforms like YouTube and Patreon. Tarbuck also mentioned her passion for crafting, which she says helps her stay grounded and focused. As she transitions to new ventures, she remains connected to the creative processes that have defined her career, both on and off the air.
