Jeff Stelling will present his first talkSPORT Breakfast show next Monday as the former Sky Sports Soccer presenter takes to the airwaves on Saturday.
Mail Sport revealed in the summer that broadcasting legend Stelling, 68, replaced Laura Woods on the morning radio programme.
Stelling will present the show on Mondays and Tuesdays, working with popular expert Ally McCoist, while Alan Brazil will helm the rest of the week.
TalkSPORT confirmed Stelling's start with a funny video of Brazil looking less than impressed as he burned the toast.
Hartlepool United superfan Stelling left Soccer Saturday at the end of last season after almost 30 years in the role.

But as well as his new radio gig, he's returning to screens as the host of a new Premier League goal show on Amazon Prime Video.
Stelling has joined their presenting team as they prepare to show twenty live matches this season, including a full set of midweek matches next week.
When asked if he missed the broadcast, Stelling said talkSPORT: 'I have two sons, a wife and a daughter. My daughter never watches football, my two sons always do. So they benefit from my wisdom.
'They actually think I'm a real nuisance because I don't keep my mouth shut during a football match. They think I'm still playing football on Saturday when that's not the case, so you know. So they're tired of my opinions!'
Stelling added: “I won't be as glamorous as Laura, that's for sure! That will be a disappointment to some people, I know.
“If anyone has watched Soccer Saturday over the years, they know I love football.

“So I hope (listeners) will get that passion, people will know that I'm a quirky so-and-so.
'Opinions will also be expressed. I think the most important thing is to have a little fun and put a smile on people's faces.
'I know there weren't many smiles when I caught the train from Winchester to Waterloo at 6.47am this morning! You have to put a smile on people's faces. That would be lovely.'
