<p>Musician-turned-chef Levi Roots is to spice up the airwaves &#8211; by becoming a Radio 2 DJ.</p>
<p>Roots, who found fame on Dragons&#8217; Den when investors backed his Reggae Reggae Sauce, will host his first show on New Year&#8217;s Day.</p>
<p>The two-hour special will be dedicated entirely to Lover&#8217;s Rock, a gentle romantic form of reggae and will include live sessions from Janet Kay and Carroll Thompson, as well as an interview with Denis Bovell.</p>
<p>Roots said: &#8220;I can&#8217;t wait to share my passion for reggae music with Radio 2&#8217;s listeners.&#8221;</p>
<p>His show is among a number of special programmes lined up for Christmas. Also included is a programme assembled from archive recordings of late DJ Kenny Everett. </p>
<p>Kenny Everett&#8217;s Christmas Selection Box will feature characters such as Captain Kremmen and the jingles which made him one of the most famous broadcasters of his time. Paul Gambaccini will also present a documentary about the career of the presenter, who died from an Aids-related illness in 1995.</p>
<p>Kirsty MacColl&#8217;s career will be celebrated a decade after her death with a programme presented by Billy Bragg, with contributions from David Byrne, Johnny Marr and Holly Johnson.</p>
<p>Former BBC chairman Michael Grade &#8211; who is to be elevated to the House Of Lords &#8211; will also present a programme looking at the history of the well-known theatrical venue, the London Palladium.</p>
<p>Mr Grade&#8217;s family helped to give the theatre a fresh lease of fame in the 1950s when they began to broadcast regular Sunday night shows from it for ITV.</p>
