Greg James, who broadcast his breakfast show from Dundee this week, said he had fallen in love with the city.
"There's something magic about it. I had such a great week when we came here in May," he said.
"To come back to Dundee for a Big Weekend that was so highly-anticipated and delayed, it felt right to do it properly to say thanks for being patient and putting on the most amazing event with us.
"The people are incredibly welcoming, there is a real warmth from people in Dundee."

Head of Radio 1, Aled Haydn Jones, said: "The partnership with V&A Dundee was so authentically genuine, because we parked outside here when we were here in May and we all became very close.
"So when it came to the end-of-the-year activity, it just felt right."
