Sara Cox has confirmed the start date for her new BBC Radio 2 Breakfast show.
The BBC presenter, 51, takes over the morning slot following the departure of Scott Mills.
Cox hosted her last weekday Teatime show on Friday, June 12 and is now taking a short break to prepare for her new show.
Now, Cox has appeared on Vernon Kay's Radio 2 show to announce when she will be launching her new breakfast show.
When will Sara Cox's BBC Radio 2 Breakfast show start?
Announcing the news on Vernon Kay’s Radio 2 show, she said: "There’s been quite a lot of mystery about when the brand new Sara Cox Breakfast Show begins on BBC Radio 2.
"I’ve been quite mysterious and going, 'it’s in the summer' and waggling my eyebrows mysteriously.
"But I can now announce, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, and everyone in between, please do join me for my very first Breakfast Show on Radio 2 on 6th of July."
The new programme will start at 6.30am and will feature a "fresh new format," according to the BBC.
Listeners can expect some of their favourite segments from Cox’s previous teatime show to return, alongside new content.
She described the job as a "dream" when first announced as the new host in April.
She said: "I can't wait – it's so exciting."
Scott Mills was sacked by the BBC earlier this year, shortly before it emerged the Metropolitan Police launched an investigation into the 53-year-old in 2016 over allegations of serious sexual offences involving a teenage boy under 16 between 1997 and 2000.
Cox's first day on the new BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show will be July 6, starting at 6.30am.
