Image copyright PA Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage is to present a daily chat show on the radio station LBC.
The Nigel Farage Show will air from 19:00 to 20:00, Mondays to Thursdays, with the host describing it as “full of opinions, callers and reaction”.
He tweeted: “I invite listeners to agree with me, challenge me & together we can lead Britain"s conversation.”
Mr Farage, a friend of US President-elect Donald Trump, is an MEP for South East England.
He resigned as UKIP leader last summer, but returned on an interim basis after his successor, Diane James, resigned only 18 days into the job.
Mr Farage"s former deputy, Paul Nuttall, won the second leadership contest of the year.
Mr Trump has said Mr Farage – among the first politicians to visit the president-elect after his victory last year – would make a “great” UK ambassador to the US, but Downing Street responded that there was “no vacancy”.

Image copyright Reuters Image caption Nigel Farage said he had never had any suspicions about Cottrell"s behaviour An aide to former UKIP leader Nigel Farage is facing up to 20 years in jail in the US after admitting to fraud.

The MEP, who stood down as leader in November, told Good Morning Britain he could not be held responsible for “what everyone around me does”.

Farage"s successor

Image copyright PA Paul Nuttall has been elected leader of the UK Independence Party, replacing Nigel Farage. But what do we know about him?
Paul Nuttall is angry with mainstream politicians who think they have a monopoly on “truth”.
UKIP"s new leader, a substantial figure on the Leave side of the Brexit debate, argues that the millions of voters who have rejected the establishment view of life feel rightly cheated.
Those who claim the rise of his party is part of a global movement towards “post-truth politics” get short shrift. Mr Nuttall promises instead a “post-deceit” age.
A familiar figure on political programmes for several years, he will now get the chance to show what that means. And then there"s the task of getting UKIP – riven by factional disputes in recent months – back into shape, having promoted himself as the “unity candidate”.
Elected youngBecoming UKIP leader two days short of his 40th birthday, Mr Nuttall, a former history lecturer – and a schoolboy footbal..
