"I want to say a massive thank you to the various teams I’ve had the privilege of working with over the last number of years especially Kate, Graham, Dave, Cormac, Zbyszek and the late Helen Doorly who we all dearly miss.
"This was something I had originally in my mind for 2020 but the world changed quite quickly there for a minute."
He added: "Regardless, the last 12 months especially have been my favourite.
"I want to say a massive thank you to the countless people who have worked to bring some of the biggest names in film and music to the show, it’s been an absolute pleasure working with you and beyond that making so many long lasting friendships.
"I've been very proud to have been the first home for voices like Billie Eilish, Lewis Capaldi, Lizzo and more to talk on Irish radio."
Going on to tease where fans might see or hear him next, Stephen revealed: "I’ll have some news soon but beyond that I can’t wait to have time off for the first time since I was in Transition Year.
"For the first time in a really long time I’m very excited for the future and what this brings."
Stephen's colleagues have been praising the presenter for his time on air. Fellow host Tara Kumar wrote: "We’ve had some fun together over the years, co-hosting breakfast shows, presenting pride specials, sharing our love of new music and pop culture and so much more. 14 years in 2FM! What an achievement."
Meanwhile Dave Fanning said: "Stephen… you’re the man. Great to work with you the last bunch of years."
