Mr Farage surprised MPs and the public when he stood down as Ukip leader on Monday morning. He said he had achieved his political ambition and wanted his life back and many speculated about his next move.
The politician, 52, will be hosting a phone-in on Sunday from 10am and will be standing in for LBC presenter and controversial columnist Katie Hopkins.
Mr Farage has made regular appearances on the London-based national talk and phone-in station.
“With the European Union still the big topic that listeners want to discuss, it's sure to be an unmissable programme,” the station said, adding: “Make sure you don't miss Nigel's big show”.
Mr Farage previously appeared on a fortnightly phone-in slot dubbed Phone Farage on Fridays at 9am with Nick Ferrari where he would answer listeners' questions.
Mr Farage announced his shock resignation just two weeks after Britons voted to leave the European Union, saying that he “couldn’t possibly achieve more”.
“During the referendum campaign I said I want my country back’, what I’m saying today is ‘I want my life back’, and it begins right now,” he said.
Hopkins has presented the Sunday morning talk show since April 2016 but previously worked as a guest presenter for the station.
