A huge shakeup on morning radio in The U.K., as CHRIS EVANS made public he will be leaving the RADIO 2 breakfast show after eight years -- and 13 years at the station. He will join VIRGIN RADIO next year.

"I'm going to leave. I'm leaving RADIO 2," he told listeners, but promised he'd stay on air until CHRISTMAS, reports THE BBC. Explaining the decision, he said, "Some of us are mountain climbers [but] if you get to the top of your favourite mountain and you stay there, you become an observer. I want to keep climbing."

EVANS took to TWITTER:

?? Endless hours of entertaining radio. Millions raised for @BBCCiN. The alarm clock for a record number of listeners. ??
After thirteen fantastic years, @achrisevans has just announced he’s bidding a fond farewell to Radio 2 this December. pic.twitter.com/qAShMbuyNP
