The Wanted will fill the mid-morning slot from 11am and will be treating listeners to the favourite songs and hopes for 2013.
The Wanted’s Max George added: “We can’t wait to get on-air and speak directly to our fans, who have made sure 2012 has been amazing.”
The Wanted will then be handing over to One Direction at 2pm.
Speaking of his bands involvement, Harry Styles said: “We started 2012 taking over The Hits Radio, and it’s great to be doing the same again to start 2013.”
