She stayed in the role for over a decade, and waved goodbye to the Radio 4 interview show for good in 2019. In July 2019, she announced that she was to stand down as the host saying: ‘Having been forced to take some months away from my favourite job because of health problems, I’m happy to say I’m now well on the way to feeling much better. Back in 2006, she was announced as the new presenter of the long-running BBC Radio 4 programme Desert Island Discs, replacing Sue Lawley. She began on October 1 2006. Kirsty was part of the original line-up on Channel 5 when it first came to air back in 1997, presenting the channel’s flagship news programme Channel 5 News. The presenter, 53, took a break from Desert Island Discs in 2018, before Lauren Laverne took over permanently, and she stepped away the following year due to illness. Kirsty Young will be leading much of the coverage over the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee weekend, but the Scottish TV presenter has been fairly absent from screens in recent years.

Remarkably, the star went on to explain how the whole ordeal has given her a new outlook on life. However, there was a heartbreaking catch, the star had to give up her job. Young explained that the term “fibro fog” is used to describe the distortion between reality and not, as individuals think they are dealing with “pain all the time”. She said: “I remember I picked up a bottle of water and it was too heavy for me. Describing her frustrating search for help she said: “The rheumatoid arthritis is more straightforward but my fibromyalgia was muddying the waters. We’ll never see it again, certainly in our lifetimes and maybe never, so I couldn’t resist,” Young said when asked about her upcoming role within the Jubilee. With four days of live broadcasts ahead, the first of which starts today (Thursday, June 2), Young is jumping straight back into the deep end, a stark contrast from 2018 when she thought she might never work again.

In 2018, the former Desert Island Discs presenter announced that she would be stepping down “for a number of months” to receive treatment for a form of fibromyalgia. Writing for the publication, Ms Griffiths wrote: “It must have been hard for Kirsty Young to decide to turn down an invitation to the Royal Wedding and anchor the BBC’s coverage instead, but I hear her dedication to her career is about to pay spectacular dividends.” Kirsty is one of the most recognisable presenters and voices in the UK, having been active on television since the early Nineties.
