Speaking to BBC Breakfast, Saville said it was: “terrific" to be hosting the last 'Top Of The Pops'. "Most shows don’t last 42 days – we last 42 years. You can only feel incredibly proud,” he said.

He said that the last edition of the show would be a “one hour spectacular” featuring “high spots” from the show's run, the BBC reports.
