Andrew Marr is recovering from a stroke
Jeremy Vine will host this weekend's edition of The Andrew Marr Show as the broadcaster continues to "make progress" after his stroke.

Andrew is the corporation's former political editor.
He began his career as a newspaper reporter, becoming the editor of The Independent before turning to television.
