Earlier this year, Katja Mia announced her decision to leave The Six O’Clock Show for her new radio show on 2FM.
The hunt for her replacement was on for a while with a slew of co-hosts stepping in beside Brian Dowling.
And now Virgin Media has confirmed who will be in the hot seat for the weeknightly show.
Lottie Ryan will join Brian Dowling Gourounlian as the new co-host of The Six O’Clock Show, stepping into the role alongside Brian on the popular weeknight programme.
Lottie Ryan is no stranger to viewers, having previously appeared on The Six O’Clock Show as a guest. As a seasoned broadcaster, presenter and podcast host, she brings a wealth of live television and radio experience to the role.
Speaking about joining as co-host, Lottie said: “I’m absolutely delighted to be joining The Six O’Clock Show. I’ve always loved the show and having been a guest on the Six Sofa before, it feels really special to now be a part of the team.
“I’m really looking forward to getting started, working alongside Brian and the brilliant crew behind the scenes – and I can’t wait for viewers to see what we have in store – there’s plenty of fun ahead.”
While Brian added: “I am really excited to welcome Lottie to The Six O’Clock Show. We’re going to have great fun over the next coming months. Tune in Monday to Friday and catch all the action really soon. Let’s go go go!”
Lottie will step into her new role from Autumn 2026, marking an exciting new chapter for the show.
The Six O’Clock Show airs weeknights at 6pm on Virgin Media PLAY & Virgin Media One.
