Bryce “DJ Ankletap” Clarke, popularly known as “Malume”, bid farewell to YFM listeners on Friday morning after 12 years with the station.

The radio personality revealed he was set to takeover YOUFM's breakfast show hosting Your Mornings with Malume.

Taking a bow, Ankletap took to his timeline sharing memories from his time spent at YFM, expressing his gratitude for the support he's been shown over the years.

“Today marks the end of an era for me as I bid farewell to YFM, a place that has been my home for so many years. As the longest-serving presenter in the station's history, I leave as a legend — but more importantly, as 'Malume' to all of you.

“I want to take this moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support and love throughout my time here. From the early-morning drives to the late-night shows, you have been there with me every step of the way. Your dedication has made this journey all the more meaningful, and I will forever cherish the memories we have created together,” he wrote.
