Chris Tarrant is to return to radio after four years to host a Saturday-morning show for GMG Radio that will pit him against Jonathan Ross.

The Chris Tarrant Show, the first time Tarrant has hosted a regular radio show since leaving Capital Radio in 2004, launches on July 26, and will be on air from 10am to 1pm.

Tarrant will go head to head against Jonathan Ross on BBC Radio 2.

The show will be broadcast on eight of GMG's stations, including Smooth in London; Real Radio in Wales, Scotland and Yorkshire and Century Radio in the north-east and north-west.

Tarrant's new show, described as a "fresh, engaging and entertaining listen", will also be available on Sky and through Freeview.

The new show will be sponsored by Nissan Micra and produced by Head on Media.

GMG Radio is part of the Guardian Media Group.
