Gok Wan made his debut in his new job as the presenter of Magic FM’s breakfast show on Monday and was warmly welcomed in by his colleagues.
The fashionista, 50, joined co-host Harriet Scott after stepping into Ronan Keating’s shoes, following the Boyzone singer’s decision to leave the station after seven years.
He impressed in an all-black outfit consisting of a double-breasted black reefer jacket over a black shirt, adding a pair of black jeans.
Gok completed the look with white Nike trainers with a black tick, a wide black scarf and black squared sunglasses with orange lenses.
Harriet, 53, gifted her new presenting partner with a cake decorated using a picture of the pair, as well as balloons adorned with both of their faces.
Other members of the team, meanwhile, wore masks with Gok’s face on as his time at the helm got off to a fun-filled start.

Those at the London studios rolled out a real red carpet for the incoming host before Harriett hugged him as he entered.
The decision to hire the TV presenter was partly informed by his assured performance next to Harriett while Ronan was away last year, with bosses citing their ‘brilliant chemistry’.
At the start of the show, Gok said: ‘I am so excited to be here – our first show! This does feel really special, good morning everyone!
‘We want to make this whole Breakfast show about you guys, all about us telling your stories, our stories, getting to know each other.’
The fashion expert acquainted himself with the audience through a game of Getting to Know You with Gok.
He revealed that he is scared of static electricity and is a self-proclaimed ‘petrol head’.
Ahead of his bow on the 6am-10am show, Gok revealed that his body clock may take time to adjust, with the night owl forced to wake up at 4am during the week.
Ronan stepped back from the show in June to focus on his family.

The star became a co-host on the morning show alongside Harriet in September 2017 and although he will no longer present the weekday show, he promised fans he would remain in the magic Radio family.
Gok previously said of his new role: ‘I am beyond excited to be joining the Magic Radio Breakfast team. I have loved working with the crew and of course getting to know our fabulous listeners.

‘I have truly fallen in love with radio and I don’t even mind the early mornings, I’m an early riser anyway! We are going to have a brilliant time and I want you all to join us in the daily fun.
‘Harriet is a wonderful co-host and I can’t wait for our Magic to happen!’
Harriet has been just as excited for Gok to join her in the studio.
She said: ‘I know that our listeners are going to love spending their mornings with Gok just as much as I do. We’re all going to have some adventures together in 2025 and I can’t wait!’
